О компании и продукте

• 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.
• The Core Infrastructure organization operates the foundational systems that power Stripe globally — including databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), high availability and disaster recovery (HADR), AWS cloud infrastructure, Linux servers, container orchestration, mesh networking, service discovery, and network edge infrastructure.

Задачи

• As a Staff Engineer on REP, you will play a key leadership role in enabling Stripe's infrastructure to power all of our products, globally and at scale
• You will decide how Stripe validates that a new region can safely take traffic and continue working through network loss, failover, and deploy changes
• You will define the checks that must pass before launch or failover, build validation systems that replay real production paths against regional infrastructure, and turn those checks into CI/CD gates, operator workflows, and concrete fixes for service or platform owners
• You will also help build Core Infrastructure's senior technical bench in Bangalore through design review, mentoring, and cross-region technical leadership
• Define evidence-based readiness criteria for regional launches, traffic migrations, and failovers — replacing manual checklists with repeatable, globally consistent patterns
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks on critical payment paths
• use system data to drive ownership and validate that platform mitigations measurably reduce impact
• Lead end-to-end cross-functional delivery for new-region infrastructure, including safe service behaviors for remote control planes
• Build reusable validation tooling that accelerates infrastructure integration for new acquisitions and reduces high-priority blockers
• Convert recurring operational friction into scalable platform capabilities used across teams
• Lead technical conversations and define decision mechanisms across Core Infrastructure and product teams
• Develop and communicate a multi-year technical strategy for REP with clearly defined quarterly milestones and success metrics
• Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack
• Mentor and grow senior engineers, elevating technical planning, design standards, and cross-region execution from Bangalore
• Collaborate effectively in a global, distributed environment with asynchronous decision-making across AMER, EU, and APAC

Требования

• We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role
• The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement
• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent field
• 12+ years of professional experience in software or infrastructure engineering
• Proven track record leading complex, cross-team or company-wide infrastructure projects with high reliability and scale requirements
• Strong engineering background in distributed systems, platform engineering, or backend infrastructure, with a focus on operational safety and correctness
• Experience optimizing the reliability and security of distributed systems
• Experience scaling and migrating systems with little to no downtime
• Strong technical judgment and written communication skills, including design docs and trade-off analysis
• Experience mentoring engineers at various stages of their careers
• Experience with one or more major cloud providers — AWS, Azure, OCI, or GCP
• Familiarity with ops culture and a solid understanding of metrics, alarms, and dashboards
• 3+ years of experience with Go

Будет плюсом

• Experience validating large-scale migrations, failovers, regional launches, regionalization, or control-plane behavior
• Experience designing or operating infrastructure with strict reliability, correctness, latency, or availability requirements
• Strong observability judgment across metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, and incident analysis
• Experience with networking, service discovery, traffic routing, databases, Kubernetes, Terraform, or cloud infrastructure
• Experience reducing packet loss, network latency, cross-region dependency risk, or other infrastructure failure modes
• Experience making infrastructure validation or readiness evidence usable by service owners, operators, or partner teams
• Experience turning repeated operational problems into reusable tools, standards, or platform mechanisms
