Our mission is to increase economic growth.At Stripe, you can make that happen.

We exist to increase economic growth, and we pursue it on every front: by building tools that make it easier and cheaper for ambitious businesses to start and scale, by publishing ideas that advance progress, and by creating the economic infrastructure for AI. Your work will define how the world transacts.

Speed and craft compound

Our goal is to get faster as Stripe grows. We also revere craftsmanship and obsess over every detail. The tension between those two operating principles—speed and craft—defines how we work. Finding ways to achieve both keeps us moving forward.

Better defaults exist

We don’t assume the best way to do something is the way it’s always been done. We rethink from first principles how financial services should work, and welcome new ideas from every corner of the company.

Built for the best

88% of businesses on the Forbes AI 50 run on Stripe. That’s not a coincidence. We power the world’s most ambitious companies because we’re obsessed with their success, rigorous about the details, creative in our approach, and always moving with urgency.

We’re building the economic infrastructure for AI

AI is replatforming the global economy. Stripe is building infrastructure to make it possible, including real-time agent micropayments, protocols that let software transact autonomously, and fraud prevention for a new generation of threats. These are just some of the challenges you’ll be working on.

Around 1.6% of global GDP runs on Stripe.Behind every transaction is something someone here built.

Solve the problems that matter at scale

Stripe powers more than 1.6% of global GDP. Millions of businesses, from solo founders to Fortune 500 companies, run on our infrastructure. Our core mission is enabling economic growth, which we believe is one of the foundations of a flourishing civilization.

There may never have been a more interesting time to work on this problem at Stripe. AI is changing everything about the business ecosystem: from how and which companies get built and grow, to how money moves between them. We are lucky to be at the center of this revolution: 88% of leading AI companies already run on Stripe. We've spent 16 years building toward this moment, and we think the best work is still in front of us.

To meet this moment, we are looking for people who move with urgency, who like hard problems, and who want their work to matter at a time of great change. If that's you, there's no better place to build your career.

Frequently asked questions

What does it take to do well at Stripe?

The bar at Stripe is high, and the people who do well here tend to share a few traits. We find that success depends less on background and more on how Stripes approach their work and handle the challenges that inevitably arise at a fast-moving and dynamic company.Successful Stripes tend to be motivated by our mission. That's what fuels their ambition and their sense of ownership, which extends beyond their own expertise. At Stripe, we're in this together, and you'll fix things that don't "belong" to you. People who thrive here also tend to choose challenge over comfort. When something doesn't add up, they get curious about why and they change their mind when the evidence shows they were wrong.

What does career growth look like at Stripe?

Fast, if you seek it out. Stripe gives people ownership early, which means you could find yourself leading significant work sooner than you would elsewhere. Promotions are tied to demonstrated impact, not tenure. We invest in development through stretch projects, direct feedback, and options for internal mobility.

What should I expect during the Stripe hiring process?

Most processes include a recruiter screen, a technical or skills-based assessment, and a series of interviews with the team you’d be joining. Timelines vary by role, level, and location—some move in a few weeks, others take longer. We try to work quickly and give clear feedback at every stage.

How do I know if a Stripe recruiter contacting me is legitimate?

Stripe recruiters reach out through official channels—LinkedIn or an @stripe.com email address—and will never ask for payment, personal financial information, or login credentials at any point in the process. If something feels off, trust that instinct. You can verify any outreach by emailing careers@stripe.com directly.
