About the team
Our Growth team is on a mission to acquire, convert, and grow millions of merchants globally across the full Stripe suite of financial products. We're a cross-functional team of engineers, scientists, marketers, designers, and product managers that deliver the insights, algorithms, internal systems and tools, and user-facing experiences that fuel our growth. We help businesses around the world find Stripe, get started, and grow.
As part of the Growth Engineering team, you'll build the systems, products, internal tools, and customer-facing experiences that power intelligence behind our go-to-market and product-led growth. This includes building ML-powered recommendations and growth experimentation engines, multi-channel notification systems, and key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding flows, user dashboards, product recommendations).
What you'll do
As a full-stack engineer on the Growth team, you'll build and ship experiments and product improvements across stripe.com and the Dashboard to help businesses find and get started on Stripe. You'll work on critical parts of the funnel for self-serve users, ensuring their experience on Stripe is consistently high-quality. With other engineers and data scientists, you'll turn ML-powered recommendations, messaging, and experimentation into impact that moves company metrics.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain scalable systems and customer experiences that help businesses discover, onboard, and grow with Stripe products.
- Develop high-quality, robust backend APIs in Ruby that power responsive frontend experiences using React, JavaScript, and CSS.
- Implement and iterate on ML-driven recommendations, experimentation frameworks, and growth optimization features.
- Work with data scientists and product managers to translate growth hypotheses into technical implementations and A/B tests.
- Contribute to shared platforms and tools that enable rapid experimentation across growth initiatives.
- Debug production issues across the full stack and participate in on-call rotations.
- Write maintainable, well-tested code that follows team conventions and best practices.
