Who we are

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 will succeed at our mission of increasing the GDP of the internet only if we prove ourselves worthy of our users’ trust. Secure Frameworks provides the core security libraries and frameworks that protect Stripe from security incidents that we, or anyone else in the industry, knows how to systematically prevent. We target application layer protections to abstract security complexity, and provide intuitive, out-of-the box solutions for common concerns, enabling teams to integrate quickly and get on with their work. We build security guarantees into platform foundations so security is always on by default.

Hybrid work at Stripe

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
