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
Privacy products’ mission is to build trust that Stripe is a responsible steward of user’s data while managing privacy risk and enabling business growth. The team does this by building industry leading privacy products and foundational privacy infrastructure. These products provide: transparency to our users about Stripe’s data practices, choices and controls to our users about their data, and solutions to our customers to manage their privacy. The infrastructure we build allows Stripe engineers to meet our users’ expectations and regulatory requirements for how Stripe handles and safeguards user data. Stripe’s operating principles focus on putting users first. This means the businesses built on Stripe and consumers who use payments through Stripe need to trust Stripe to process their data. Protecting our user’s data and prioritizing privacy is how we put users first.
What you’ll do
As a privacy products engineer at Stripe, you’ll build products that our customers and consumers use to manage their privacy needs. The customer facing product portfolio includes data access tooling (Data Access Tool) within a privacy portal and a new redaction API. The non-customer facing portfolio includes internal libraries and tooling such as cookie and consent frameworks and data access and deletion pipelines. Your role heavily impacts Stripe's overall privacy posture, and you'll collaborate cross-functionally with product owners, engineering teams, privacy legal, and ops teams. Your work is not only impactful; it is critical to the long-term success of Stripe and our users.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and extend external facing privacy products such as the data access tool and privacy portal
- Build API products for customers to help them manage their privacy requirements
- Build internal tools for other Stripe teams to help manage their privacy requirements
- Build and extend our data access and deletion pipelines
- Collaborate with our users and on cross-functional teams to extend our privacy systems
Who you are
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements
- 2-5 years of professional hands-on software development experience
- Empathy, strong communication skills and a deep respect for the power of collaboration
- Able to work well individually, cross-team, and cross-functionally
- The ability to drive clear next steps when encountering ambiguous spaces without clear lines of ownership
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- High standards for code quality and a constructive attitude to help others raise the bar
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and implementing technical solutions to address them
- Experience with complex data pipelines over large datasets
- Experience designing and building user-facing privacy tools
- Experience with Ruby or Java in production environments
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 $155,700 - $233,500. 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.
