About the Company

Stripe builds financial tools and economic infrastructure for the internet. We’re helping small startups and the world’s biggest companies build products, create business models, and scale their efforts globally. And we’d like your help.

Our customers are the most ambitious organizations in the world. Previously, they had to create an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden version of financial rails before they could do business online. We are doing the difficult-but-necessary work of building a global payments and treasury network—so entrepreneurs and enterprises can concentrate on creating value, not moving money.

We operate at significant scale, but we’re still tiny relative to the opportunity. 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.

Tech Stack

Stripe provides the technical, fraud prevention, and banking infrastructure required to operate online payment systems. As summarized by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2019, Stripe succeeded by "[distilling] the complex, creaking infrastructure of online payments into a handful of lines of code that could be inserted into a clients website."
