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

Technical Solutions Specialists (TSS) are the perfect union of two areas of expertise: product knowledge and full-stack developers. This team provides integration guidance & support, on a foundation of deep understanding of Stripe’s products.

The team partners with technical or developer users, as developers themselves, to answer questions and advise on how to improve or modify integrations to get the most out of Stripe’s powerful infrastructure.

Technical Solutions interacts directly with developer-users more than any other team at Stripe, so your role will have a significant impact on what Stripe is known for and values most. When we do our job well, developers all over the world are able to smoothly launch and grow their businesses on Stripe, whether they’re integrating payments for the first time or building complex financial systems.

What you’ll do

Partner with mentors on the team on focused and deliberate learning objectives designed to improve your developer skills and build better coverage within the team

Work a mixed schedule allowing us to provide our most technical users with 24/5 front-line developer support and guidance

Take an analytical approach to tracking points of friction for users and work with other teams to make those parts of Stripe better

You will also solidify your knowledge of SQL and LogScale basics to excel on the job.
