Stripe jobs

Stripe's ML Platform team is seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the technical strategy and architecture for the infrastructure powering the company's machine learning products across payments, fraud detection, lending, and billing. You'll own end-to-end system design for complex projects, define technical direction amid high ambiguity, and architect solutions for challenges like low-latency model inference, large-scale feature stores, real-time monitoring, and LLM orchestration. The role requires 10+ years of software development experience with proven technical leadership in distributed systems and production ML platforms, strong product instincts, and exceptional cross-functional collaboration skills. This is a high-impact position at a company processing $1.9T in annual payments volume, offering the opportunity to influence ML strategy across Stripe's entire product suite while mentoring other engineers and advising senior leadership. The ideal candidate has experience building large-scale ML serving infrastructure, familiarity with LLMs and agentic AI patterns, and comfort operating autonomously in ambiguous environments—hands-on experience with AI tools is expected.
