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 team

Stripe’s Payment Intelligence group is responsible for optimizing each of the billions of dollars of transactions processed by Stripe each year on behalf of our users, in order to maximize successful transactions while minimizing payment costs and fraud. Radar owns the technical stack that enables us to make critical real-time decisions to step-up or intervene on every transaction that Stripe processes. The team is home to domain experts on fraud and payments systems that work across the larger Payments organization to stay ahead of adversarial attacks, and to develop novel ways to improve Stripe’s payments performance. We’re hiring for multiple roles within Radar across our product platform and experience teams.
