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. 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.

About the Organization 

Stripe’s Money as a Service (MaaS) organization is at the heart of Stripe’s business. You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including:

Accounts and Connect: This team ships abstractions & experiences for Stripe’s platform users to build powerful, next generation integrations. Connect has been at the forefront of Stripe’s growth due to the power of its offering, which enables thousands of global platforms and marketplaces to distribute Stripe’s payment processing directly to their sellers and merchants. As Stripe grows its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Connect will unlock a new phase of growth for Stripe by enabling our platforms to distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users. 

Money Movement and Storage (MMS): This team is working towards a future in which all of the complexity that comes with handling money (e.g. accepting different currencies, adopting new payment methods, integrating with hundreds of banks globally) is abstracted away from Stripe’s users. This team is core to Stripe’s business and thousands of developers will use our platform and infrastructure to create valuable products and services that billions of people use. Our team works with product engineering and infrastructure teams across Stripe to build the platform that powers money movement for many of Stripe’s Products like Connect, Issuing, and Corporate Card. Ultimately, our goal is to increase the GDP of the internet by making it easy to build global products, services, and platforms that handle money. 

Banking as a Service (BaaS): This team enables users to build and launch successful card programs (Issuing), provide access to fast, flexible financing (Capital), and embed rich financial features into their products (Treasury). 

Team Matching Note: exact team matching for one of the sub-teams within MMS, Accounts and Connect or BaaS will begin during the final stage.
