Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies-from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups-use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.
We build and operate Stripe’s Event Infrastructure — the reliable, low-latency backbone that captures, routes, and persists billions of events daily. We design resilient, scalable systems for real-time ingestion, filtering, transformation, and high-throughput delivery to downstream consumers. We prioritize observability, backpressure control, and graceful degradation to keep payments and platform features running under any load. By automating operations and iterating on capacity and cost optimizations, we enable product teams to build on a predictable event-streaming foundation.
As an Engineering Manager in the infrastructure organization, you are expected to see problems others don't and rally people to independently create solutions. You will move beyond day-to-day management to act as an industry leader, effectively advocating for your organization's mission, values, and impact.
We are looking for a visionary leader who thrives on operating Tier0 infrastructure and building world-class teams. You should be equally comfortable in high-level strategic conversations and deep-diving into database internals.
