About the Company

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

Collecting and filing sales & indirect taxes is a classic area for technology disruption. Companies selling across countries, states, and even smaller jurisdictions have to navigate through a myriad of tax rates, product-level tax exemptions, filing requirements, and registration obligations. The rules are constantly changing, and not accurately calculating and filing tax can have legal ramifications.

It's no surprise then that solving for tax compliance is a top user ask. We launched Stripe Tax as a new SaaS product in 2021 to help solve this pain point and make tax compliance as effortless as possible. The Stripe Tax CoreXP team engineers sophisticated solutions to help our merchants grow and expand with confidence and minimal friction. The team builds solutions for monitoring tax compliance requirements, and provides solutions for registering and filing taxes.

Key Responsibilities

We're looking for software engineers who are interested in building software services and platforms that impact millions of Stripe users. You will be working alongside a diverse set of peers spanning design, product and engineering to identify, build and maintain solutions that empower thousands of merchants to grow their business with confidence.

Operate with limited oversight and own end-to-end the delivery of projects, including independently scoping, designing, implementing, and productionizing features

Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization such as product, design, infrastructure, marketing and operations

Debug production issues across services and improve the team's overall operational health

Develop and execute against both short- and long-term goals

Establish and uphold best practices in engineering, security, and technical design
