About Stripe

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, and the road ahead is vast. This translates to an extraordinary opportunity for you to bring the global economy within everyone's grasp, all while engaging in the most impactful work of your career.

About the team

Edge provides a secure, compliant, fast, and reliable platform that connects Stripe's products to users globally. We abstract the underlying complexity of the Internet. We own tier-0 mission critical systems like Global Ingress, CDNs (and static assets), Perimeter Security, DNS and Certificates which power Stripe products (Payments, Elements, Connect, Terminal, Radar, Stripe Tax etc.), foundational services (IAM, Accounts, Webhooks, Auth Platform etc.) and infrastructure (Mongo, MySql, ML Infrastructure, Push notifications etc.). We power Stripe Frontend, which is used by all Stripe services to allow access from users of the internet. We detect, analyze, prevent, and remediate DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on all products and services within Stripe - APIs, Dashboards, CDNs, Devices etc. Edge drives Stripe wide initiatives like Multi-region support, Disaster recovery, Data locality, End-to-end (E2E) p50/p95/p99 payment latency, and is on the fore-front of enabling any new business or product line for Stripe. The current stack is built (but not limited to) leveraging AWS Infrastructure, AWS EC2, S3, AWS Elasticache, Auto scaling, AWS Shield, WAF, Distributed services built in GoLang, Load balancers in C/C++, Nginx, Tooling in Python, React, JS, and memcached.
