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

Stripe’s ambitions are moving beyond payments and “up the stack” to help our users run their businesses more effectively. The BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) organization is developing two essential components of this evolution: Issuing and Treasury.

Issuing is developing new APIs to empower businesses to launch physical and virtual card programs. Treasury enables businesses built on top of our APIs to hold funds, pay bills, earn yield and manage cash flow in more efficient ways. We aim to help businesses deploy novel use cases that rely on fully programmable payment instruments. In recent news, Issuing recently hit a cumulative milestone of issuing 200 million cards to our customers and we’ve enabled a new banking integration on Treasury with Fifth Third Bank.

Integration Reliability Engineers within the BaaS organization are a dynamic and key component of Stripe's success. We sit at the intersection of product engineers, product managers and go-to-market teams to ensure our card programs & APIs with our financial partners and card networks are operating in an reliable & efficient manner for businesses integrating with Stripe Issuing & Treasury. Additionally, our team partners closely with finance, partnerships and engineering teams to ensure timely delivery of accurate data between financial partners, internal stakeholders, and Stripe leaders.
