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.\nAbout the team\nLink helps Stripe's merchants deliver frictionless and secure checkout experiences by auto-filling customers' payment information, letting customers check out in seconds and pay in one click across the Link merchant network. \nWhat you'll do\nWe’re hiring a Staff Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of new money-movement capabilities in Link. You will take ambiguous product opportunities and turn them into reliable, scalable, and intuitive experiences for consumers and merchants.\nThis is a hands-on individual-contributor role with broad technical and organizational scope. You will own large, cross-functional projects from early product and technical definition through launch and iteration; lead teams of engineers through complex execution; and partner closely with the many Stripe systems and teams that make money movement possible.\nYou will work across the stack, building services and APIs as well as the user experiences that expose those capabilities. The work may involve modern financial infrastructure-including stablecoin-enabled capabilities-while requiring sound judgment around safety, reliability, compliance, and user trust. You will make the architectural decisions that let the balance model scale globally, and raise the engineering bar for the team as we grow.\nResponsibilities\nLead the technical strategy, architecture, and execution for large, ambiguous Link initiatives that create new money-movement primitives.\nOwn projects end to end: clarify the problem, define an incremental technical plan, align stakeholders, drive delivery, launch safely, and use results to guide further investment.\nBuild robust, scalable backend services and high-quality consumer-facing experiences across Java, Ruby, and TypeScript.\nLead a project team of engineers through execution, creating clarity on priorities, decisions, risks, and delivery milestones.\nPartner with Product, Design, Data Science, Risk, Infrastructure, and other Stripe teams to build capabilities that are safe, reliable, and useful.\nNavigate dependencies across Stripe’s payments and money-movement platforms, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, user experience, operational reliability, and durable technical foundations.\nRaise the engineering bar through technical leadership, design reviews, mentoring, and constructive feedback across the team.\nHelp shape the team’s longer-term roadmap by identifying opportunities, technical risks, and investments needed to scale Link’s financial capabilities globally.\nWho you are\nWe'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.\nMinimum requirements\n10+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience, with a track record of owning large, ambiguous systems end-to-end.\nDemonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of large, complex software projects from early definition through production launch.\nStrong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences.\nExperience leading and unblocking a group of engineers on a substantial project as a senior individual contributor.\nAbility to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, making durable technical decisions, and creating an actionable path forward.\nExcellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints.\nStrong engineering judgment around system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability.\nA product-minded approach to engineering, with a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business.\nPreferred qualifications\nExperience with Java, Ruby, and/or TypeScript. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn than expertise in a particular language or framework.\nExperience building payments, money-movement, fintech, or other regulated financial products.\nExperience building consumer products at scale, particularly products that require a high degree of user trust.\nExperience working on 0→1 products or taking new capabilities from concept through launch and iteration.\nFamiliarity with stablecoins, digital assets, or the infrastructure that enables global financial products.\nAppreciation for the importance of good documentation-internal and external-and taking pride in seeing projects through to successful completion","description_format":"text","description_chars":5151,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T23:28:34Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 319 · green card filings: 110","filings_12m":319,"filings_prev_12m":318,"green_card_filings_12m":110,"median_offered_wage_usd":168770,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":198}],"liveness":{"score":44,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.618,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":40,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T14:13:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18366,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":64},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=64"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/stripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstripe-staff-software-engineer-link-bank-connections"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1269479}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"stripe.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1269479},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
