Stripe Hiring Software Engineer | Bengaluru

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 offers an interesting middle ground between joining a small startup and going to work for a multinational company. We have systems and processes optimized for early-career professionals. You will be in an environment that prizes rigor, discipline, and reliability—from our products, from our ways of working, and from our colleagues. You will learn how the best teams put together extremely reliable systems, and you will be responsible for operating these systems, with adequate backup when things get tough.

What you’ll do
As a company, we believe in end-to-end ownership of projects. For any given project, we have one person on point. While they don’t necessarily have to do all the work themselves, it’s their job to make sure all the work gets done. We launch betas and prototypes as early as we can. This helps ensure that we’re building what users actually want. We contribute back to the community, often by building things we think are cool and by releasing open-source software.

Responsibilities

• Work on cross-functional projects, directly collaborating with other engineers
• Give meaningful feedback on code reviews and technical designs
• Ensure that the systems your team operates continue running well and can scale to meet the needs of our users
• Build the skills to own a project from beginning to end, learning project management and technical leadership skills

Who you are
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements
• A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in computer science or a directly related field, obtained by summer 2026, or equivalent work experience
• Some experience and familiarity with programming, either through side projects or classwork (we work mostly in Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Scala, and Go)
• Experience from either previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects
• Ability to learn unfamiliar systems through research and mentorship

Preferred qualifications
• Specialized knowledge in one or more areas (e.g., frontend technologies or backend systems)
• Experience in code review practices and safely updating production systems
• Familiarity with navigating and managing large codebases

In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. Expectations vary depending on role, team, and location. Some roles, such as those in Bengaluru or Mexico City, require 100% in-office attendance. This helps strike a balance between collaboration and flexibility.

Pay and benefits
Stripe values pay transparency and is working toward making compensation ranges visible globally. Pay and benefits are competitive and designed to attract world-class talent.
