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

The Privacy and Data Protection team is dedicated to ensuring that users' data is handled responsibly and securely, thereby fostering trust in Stripe's Privacy and Security practices. Stripe will succeed at our mission of increasing the GDP of the internet only if we prove ourselves worthy of our users’ trust. We build application & infrastructure solutions into Stripe’s Data Platform so that data protection guarantees are always on by default. We do this by targeting application & infrastructure layer protections to abstract complexity, and provide intuitive, out-of-the box solutions for common concerns, enabling teams to integrate quickly and get on with their work. This team will work closely with various engineering and cross-functional teams across Stripe to achieve our objectives.
