Who we are
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 we have a staggering amount of work ahead.

About the team
Developer AI is a new, experimental team rethinking Stripe's external developer experience for the AI era. We are using the latest LLMs and AI engineering techniques to help developers streamline and automate the building and maintaining of their Stripe integrations. Some areas we are currently working on:
Automating the zero to one integration experience for developers building on Stripe's APIs
Bringing Stripe knowledge (docs, reference, support, etc) to developer fingertips, wherever they are working
Reducing the pain of API migrations and upgrades
What you'll do
We're looking for an experienced software engineer and technical leader to help develop, drive, and implement our roadmap. This team is on the bleeding-edge of AI engineering at Stripe so you will have an opportunity to not only redefine Stripe's world-class DX, but also how we utilize AI in product development across the company.
Responsibilities
Design and build innovative new developer tools and experiences and the highly performant, AI-powered systems that back them

Be an expert and technical leader at the company for all things AI engineering (prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, eval, etc)
Improve engineering standards, tooling and processes for the team and our broader org
Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
Advise Stripe leadership on key technology and product roadmap considerations

Experience mentoring and growing senior engineers as their technical leader
You care deeply about solving user problems and have great intuition around what developers care about and want from their tools

Preferred qualifications
10+ years of experience in full time software development roles
You keep up-to-date on the latest in AI engineering practices and research
You've previously worked on developer tools or developer experience at companies known for having great DX

You are excited about working on a new team with big ambitions and helping to chart the path to achieve them
