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
Regulatory And Compliance Engineering is tasked with the critical mission of maintaining Stripe’s financial & regulatory compliance. Our Engineers operate Stripe’s ledger, which is the authoritative source of record for all money movement at Stripe, we calculate taxes on every Stripe fee, and submit the tax & regulatory reports that enable us to operate throughout the world. We own large-scale low-latency services, massive data pipelines and platforms that enable every product at Stripe.
What you’ll do
You will have direct business impact in some of Stripe’s most mission critical business domains, focusing on Tax and Invoicing. You will work closely with many internal stakeholders, such as Tax, Accounting, Regulatory Reporting, Treasury, and Business Operations.

- Design, build, and maintain large-scale low-latency services and data pipelines for customers that produce or consume financial data at Stripe.
- Build watertight controls across data flows to ensure super high accuracy for all transactions (trillions of dollars).
- Ensure accurate, reliable, and timely reporting delivered to a single source-of-truth data warehouse
- Work collaboratively on projects that span multiple engineering groups, across multiple functions (engineering, TPM, product, business), and involving different business stakeholders such as internal regulatory & tax experts, financial crimes investigators, accountants, and more.
Who you are
We’re looking for people with a strong background or interest in building successful products or systems; you’re passionate about solving business problems and making direct impact on customers, you are comfortable in dealing with lots of moving pieces; and you’re comfortable learning new technologies and systems.
Minimum requirements
- Have 5+ years of industry Software Engineering experience
- Enjoy and have experience building scalable backend infrastructure
- Write high quality code. We work in Scala, Java, and Ruby. Languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework

- Have experience in Java, Scala (Spark), or Ruby
- Have experience in solving business problems. We focus on Tax and Invoicing working closely with accountants and tax experts
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.
The annual US base salary range for this role is $163,100 - $244,700. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
