ABOUT THE TEAM
The Big Data Infrastructure operates the critical infrastructure that powers the batch data processing at Stripe. The team
supports a variety of use cases, including Payment, Ledger, ML, Fraud Detection, Product Analytics, Regulatory Reporting,
Financial Data Reconciliation, and externally facing products like Radar and Sigma. As an example of the scale, the team's systems
serve hundreds of teams, thousands of workflows, 100,000+ task executions, O(billion) transformations, and moving terabytes of
data processing over 1 GB/second every day. Our users inside Stripe include other engineering teams, Data Scientists, Sales and
Operations, Finance, etc.
Data Orchestration builds and operates the time-based and event-based orchestration infrastructure that powers and accelerates
batch data pipelines. The team operates on a wide range of tech stacks including Airflow, Spark, SQL, Kafka, Flink, Hive
MetaStore, Trino, Pinot, Python, Java, Scala, S3, and Iceberg.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll design and build infrastructure that powers batch data processing at Stripe.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design, build, and maintain next-generation and first-generation versions of key Data Platform products, with an emphasis on
usability, reliability, security, and efficiency.
Design ergonomic APIs and abstractions that build a great customer experience for internal Stripes, that will in turn enhance
the experience of millions of Stripe users.
Ensure operational excellence and enable a highly available and reliable Data Orchestration platform across batch workloads.
Collaborate with high-visibility teams and their stakeholders to support their key initiatives—while building a robust platform
that benefits all of Stripe in the long term.
Plan for the growth of Stripe infrastructure by unblocking, supporting, and communicating with internal partners to achieve
results.
Connect your work with improvements in the usability and reliability of open source software (OSS) like Apache Airflow,
Iceberg, and Spark, and contribute back to the OSS community.
WHO YOU ARE
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you
are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
8+ years of professional experience writing high-quality, production-level code or software programs and an interest in data
infrastructure.
Has experience operating or enabling large-scale, high-availability data pipelines from design to execution and safe change
management. Expertise in Spark, Flink, Airflow, Python, Java, SQL, and API design is a plus.
Has experience developing, maintaining, and debugging distributed systems built with open source tools.
Has experience building infrastructure-as-a-product with a strong focus on user needs.
Has strong collaboration and communication skills, and can interact with both technical and non-technical participants.
Has the curiosity to learn about new technologies and business processes.
Is energized by delivering effective, user-first solutions through creative problem-solving and collaboration.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Has experience writing production-level code in Scala, Spark, Flink, Airflow, Python, Java, and SQL.
Has experience designing APIs or building developer platforms.
Has experience optimizing the end-to-end performance of distributed systems.
Has experience scaling distributed systems in a fast-moving environment.
Has experience working with Airflow infrastructure.
Genuine enjoyment of innovation and an interest in understanding how things work.
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance
between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how
to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
Hi there!
Shape how AI-native engineering builds the products millions of people use to understand their energy.
Most engineering teams still treat AI coding tools as a productivity add-on bolted onto business-as-usual development. At Eliq, we're building a true agentic engineering team, and we're looking for an AI-Native Software Engineer to join the cross-functional team behind our app and our modular, white-label web platform — orchestrating AI agents, not hand-cranking every line of code, to turn ideas into shipped features.
This is a role for a curious, hands-on builder who enjoys orchestrating AI agents and verifying their work, rather than typing every line themselves. You'll have the space and support to take initiative, contribute to Product and UX/UI decisions, and see the direct results of your work.
You'll be operating in a small, high-ownership team building the platform that powers 30+ utilities across 13 European markets. This is not a role where you wait for a fully-specced ticket — it's about orchestrating agents, verifying their output, and owning features end to end.
This role reports to Engineering Manager Hadi Tavakoli and will collaborate closely with Product and Design teams.
What You'll Do
Agentic Orchestration: Direct AI coding agents to design, build, test, and ship features — centered on Angular + Capacitor, extending into .NET when a feature demands it.
Verify AI output rigorously against types, tests, and real data, so hallucinations are driven to zero and releases are production-ready.
Feature & Bug Ownership: Take full ownership of features and bugs end to end — gather information about the problem, design the solution, build it, and test the quality of the finished work.
White-Label Reusability: Build configurable, reusable components for our white-label platform that scale cleanly across many branded instances.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, UI/UX designers, and QA — proactively pulling in the information you need, meeting clients and internal teams directly, and helping shape Product and UX decisions along the way.
Who You Are
Curious about AI tooling and motivated to get genuinely good at directing it, not just using it.
Comfortable being hands-on orchestrating, prompting, and verifying agents yourself rather than waiting on someone else to build it.
Strong sense of ownership, able to take initiative and move features forward even when not everything is defined.
Solid Angular + TypeScript fundamentals, enough to review, debug, and trust AI-generated code. We weigh AI-orchestration ability and frontend judgement over raw years of experience.
A verification mindset: types, tests, reading the docs, checking against real data.
Open to using AI agents to navigate .NET backend work, even without deep backend experience.
Comfortable working closely across Engineering, Product, Design, and QA, contributing your perspective rather than waiting for instructions.
Bonus If You Bring
Experience with Capacitor / Ionic or other hybrid mobile frameworks.
Experience with white-label or modular application architecture.
Familiarity with API design.
Why This Role
Make a Real Impact – Help energy utilities/retail and other industries accelerate the clean energy transition while improving end-customer experience.
Shape how an AI-native engineering team actually works at Eliq.
25 business days of annual vacation.
Annual team events together with our colleagues from Sweden, UK, and Lithuania.
Wellness and education allowance.
📍 Location
This is a small team co-located in the same office in Gothenburg, Sweden, so the expectation would be that you’re keen to work in the office most of the time. We do have a company policy of flexible working hours and hybrid work (Mondays, Thursdays, and the 3rd day of your choice are in-office days for the team).
If you read this far, it's time to apply:
We think you’re excited to work with a team that moves fast, takes risks, and comes to work every day motivated to build solutions that impact millions of people. You don't need to tick every box. If this role excites you, we'd still love to hear from you.
Please apply with your CV in English.
