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 mission depends on the trust of the businesses that run on us. Internal Identity builds the infrastructure that keeps access to Stripe's systems secure: strong authentication and authorization that stays out of people's way. We decide how every engineer, service, and AI agent at Stripe gets access to what it needs, and nothing more.
We're building the next generation of authorization at Stripe. It reasons about how people, services, and resources relate to each other, and it enforces policy consistently everywhere. We’re actively making the secure path the easiest one for every team at Stripe. The technical challenges we’re solving include building systems with 99.999%+ availability, expanding authorization controls to model agents as first-class identities, and making authorization policy authorship more approachable. Engineers here own big problems end to end and work closely with teams across the company.
Internal Identity is largely a distributed team with a small presence in-person in Seattle.
What you'll do
We’re looking for an engineer who is passionate about addressing tough problems in the authorization space. This role is critical, not only for Stripe, but for the future of the commercial internet.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain reliable, performant and scalable authorization infrastructure (e.g. libraries, frameworks, services).
- Build comprehensive understanding of authorization needs of our users (e.g. product teams and infrastructure teams).
- Build comprehensive, easy-to-use, and policy driven authorization solutions.
- Collaborate with our users to adopt our authorization solutions to protect their resources by providing a great user experience.
- Build access visibility and continuous policy governance to empower resource owners, legal and compliance to put risk of inappropriate access under control.
