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 team

Tax compliance is a hard problem. When millions of payments flow through a marketplace or platform, the rules for what gets reported, to whom, in which format, and by when are complex, high-stakes, and vary by country. The Connect Tax Reporting team builds products to help businesses collect and verify tax information, prepare and deliver tax forms, and manage reporting obligations across jurisdictions. This includes 1099 reporting in the US and digital platform reporting across the EU, Australia, Canada, the UK, and other regions.

This is a domain where correctness, reliability, and user trust matter deeply. A late filing, an incorrect form, or a missed reporting threshold can create regulatory risk and erode trust with platforms and their sellers. Our systems handle high-volume seasonal workflows, support complex country-specific rules, and remain dependable under fixed filing deadlines.

What you’ll do

You’ll build products and systems that simplify tax reporting for platforms and their users. You’ll take projects from discovery and technical design through implementation, launch, and operation.

Your work may include improving tax information collection, building APIs and data pipelines, automating reporting processes, and strengthening the reliability of production systems. You’ll collaborate with product managers, tax operations, support, and engineers across Stripe. AI-assisted development will be part of your day-to-day work as you design, build, test, and operate software.
