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
In this role, you'd join Stripe's Security Analytics Infrastructure team. Our mission is to enable Stripe's detection and response
by generating, centralizing, and organizing security data through simple, reliable pipelines and providing a platform of core
security systems. We also undertake experimental, bespoke projects that close Stripe‑specific security gaps and accelerate
outcomes for our partner teams.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll use your blend of security and software engineering expertise to build and support our
key services including a SIEM, SOAR, endpoint detection and response, server observability, threat intel platform, and AI
infrastructure. You'll work closely with partner teams working in multiple program areas of cyber defense, including cyber
intelligence, threat detection, vulnerability management, secure devices, and compliance. Overall, you'll help ensure that we have
the right data in the right place at the right time for our users.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Build and maintain services and dataflows related to our security analytics platform • Collaborate with other teams to drive
improvements to processes our platform supports • Continuously improve our security posture, processes, and tools
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
5+ years software engineering experience in a high-stakes production environment
Significant experience in applying software engineering in the cybersecurity field
Experience in applying AI tooling in this space (e.g. Claude Code, agent-based approaches, etc.)
Empathy, strong communication skills, and a deep respect for the power of collaboration
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
High standards for code quality and a constructive attitude to help others raise the bar
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Go and Python experience
An ability to think creatively and holistically about reducing risk in a complex environment

opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Product Security Data Platforms team is a newly established engineering team within Stripe Security. Our mission is to build
the foundational infrastructure that provides our users with unprecedented visibility into the security posture of their Stripe
integration. While Stripe is renowned for industry-leading payment protection, we are expanding our focus to provide a
comprehensive security telemetry platform that helps businesses protect their entire digital ecosystem on Stripe.
As a founding member of this team, you'll architect a large-scale customer-facing security data pipeline and presentation layer.
Much like modern security observability platforms and data lakes that have transformed cloud infrastructure, we're building an
API-first service that transforms massive streams of behavioral data into actionable security intelligence. This team operates at
the intersection of high-throughput data engineering and cybersecurity, creating the systems that will allow the world’s most
sophisticated companies to monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real time.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Senior Software Engineer on this founding team, you'll lead the technical design and implementation of our core security data
pipelines. You'll define how we capture security signals, process them at scale, and deliver them to our users through robust,
developer-friendly interfaces. If you have security domain knowledge, you'll have opportunities to help shape product vision.
RESPONSIBILITIES
* Architect scalable foundations. Design and implement a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and
augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry.
* Build API-first products. Develop the core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to seamlessly ingest
security signals into their own internal security operations centers and analytics tools.
* Engineer security signals. Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build the logic that identifies
anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights.
* Define technical strategy. Lead the technical roadmap for the platform, making critical decisions on data modeling, storage
strategies, and the abstraction layers that will support future security products.
* Drive engineering excellence. As a senior leader, you'll set the bar for code quality, system resilience, and operational
maturity for a product that requires 99.99%+ availability.
* Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with the Stripe core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure
while ensuring security data remains isolated and protected.
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 software development experience, with a history of shipping and maintaining complex, large-scale
systems
* Expertise in data engineering and distributed systems, with deep experience building and operating high-throughput data
pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar streaming technologies)
* Strong programming fundamentals, significant experience in languages like Java, C++, or Rust
* System design leadership, a proven track record of designing robust, scalable architectures and leading cross-team technical
initiatives from conception to launch
* Operational mindset, experience maintaining business-critical services with high availability requirements, on-call rotation,
and a strong focus on observability and debugging
* Communication and collaboration skills, excellent technical writing skills for drafting design documents and the ability to
mentor other engineers while collaborating with non-technical stakeholders
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
* Security domain knowledge, with prior experience building security analytics, threat detection systems, or observability
platforms.
* Platform engineering with experience building "as-a-service" infrastructure where the primary users are other engineers or
external developers.
* Cloud native infrastructure, with prior experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
* Product intuition and a desire to work on "0-to-1" initiatives where you help define the product requirements and user
experience alongside engineering.
* Front-end or full stack experience is a plus, particularly with React or TypeScript.
