The posting

Who we are

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 Organization

Payments is at the core of Stripe’s mission to increase the GDP of the internet. We are expanding our payments footprint in India and we are looking for Backend Engineers to own the technical architecture behind our next generation of payment offerings in India.

As part of the India Payments team, you will build on top of Stripe’s robust foundational platforms, driving complex integrations and contributing to the architectural evolution of the critical services that handle money movement every millisecond. You will engineer the entire horizontal payments stack, driving every phase of a transaction's journey: integrating with local payment rails, managing initiation and intelligent routing, ensuring reliable completion and automating reconciliation and payouts.

Partnering with cross-functional engineering hubs globally, you will tackle high-stakes technical challenges requiring low-latency execution, strict transactional idempotency, zero-downtime migrations and resilient distributed state management at scale.

If you thrive on taking ambiguous product mandates and turning them into fault-tolerant, self-healing distributed systems, you will feel right at home here.

What You’ll Do (Core Responsibilities)

  • Architect and operate low-latency, fault-tolerant backend microservices that integrate with Indian payment methods
  • Map complex, India-specific payment flows into Stripe’s global, unified API platforms, ensuring a seamless integration experience for developers worldwide
  • Design highly reliable adapter layers that interact with domestic banking partners and payment networks, building systems that gracefully handle external API latency and asynchronous callbacks
  • Own end-to-end service health, implementing shadow rollouts, distributed tracing, automated failovers and proactive alerting for 99.99% uptime
  • Collaborate with Product, Regulatory/Legal, Risk and Partner Integration teams across global engineering hubs while delivering seamless developer-facing APIs
  • Mentor and empower engineers to contribute independently through ongoing technical guidance and actionable feedback

Other Responsibilities

  • Independently scope, build and ship medium-to-large projects from ambiguous requirements to production
  • Build robust APIs that hide the extreme complexity of Indian payment rails behind simple, elegant developer experiences
  • Partner with product and data teams to proactively identify, size and solve the most impactful problems for our users
  • Engineer highly reliable, scalable infrastructure that consistently meets strict SLAs for all internal and external systems
  • Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack with an eye towards improving maintainability over the long term
  • Improve engineering standards, tooling and processes
  • Accelerate team velocity through high-quality code reviews and architectural collaboration

Who you are

Minimum requirements

  • 8+ years of experience designing, implementing and operating large-scale, high-performance APIs and services
  • You have implemented server-side APIs in languages like Ruby, Java, or Go, working with document and relational datastores (especially Mongo and MySQL)
  • Empathetic, collaborative and user-first mindset in everything you build and have excellent oral and written communication
  • Experience proactively seeking feedback from users, teammates and subject matter experts
  • The ability to balance speed, complexity, and scope in service of user needs
  • Excellent oral and written communication

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience building large-scale financial systems, payments infrastructure or working in the broader fintech industry is a plus
  • Experience building distributed systems or operating within a complex microservices architecture
  • Proficiency in Ruby, Java, or Go, with deep experience modeling data in relational and document databases (e.g., MySQL, Mongo)
  • Experience driving technical alignment across global, cross-functional teams

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
