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

The Internal Identity Team's mission is to protect Stripe by providing primitives that enable secure user access at Stripe. We build tools that enable Stripe to enforce strong authentication and authorization controls, while providing a seamless user experience for Stripes to do their best work. Our team is responsible for core identity, authentication, and authorization systems critical to Stripe's security infrastructure.

What you’ll do

As a Frontend Engineer on the Internal Identity Team, you'll play a pivotal role in implementing core principles of usable security within Stripe’s internal security tooling. We are seeking a candidate who enjoys working in all parts of the technology stack, but is especially excited about building delightful and intuitive user experiences. You'll work on projects that directly impact Stripe's security posture and employee productivity, driving initiatives that enable a world-class user experience for Stripe’s internal security products. 

While prior experience with Security is definitely a plus, it's not a requirement for this role. So if you're eager to jump into a new challenge and gain experience in Security, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
