About the team

Stripe Infrastructure is responsible for the reliability, scale, performance, and cost of Stripe's systems and the productivity and sentiment of Stripe's people. You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas within Core Infrastructure. We're the home for Stripe's critical tier-0 infrastructure systems (Compute, Networking, DocumentDB, Distributed Caching, and High Assurance Engineering). We build the foundational platform for Stripe products and services to allow them to operate at scale. We drive reliability, availability, efficiency, and scalability of these systems.
