Who we are About Stripe Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

About the team In this role, you'll be joining a small, focused team with a large mandate: enabling businesses and Stripes to extend Stripe Billing exactly to their needs.

Our work unlocks enterprise customers with complex, bespoke billing requirements — directly contributing to Stripe's mission of increasing the GDP of the internet. Our team brings extensibility to Stripe's Billing products, enabling merchants to customize billing logic — from discount calculations to invoicing workflows — through user-authored scripts and orchestration of Billing primitives We collaborate closely with Billing domain teams and Stripe's Extensibility platform teams to identify and build high-leverage extension points across the billing engine We have shipped at Stripe Sessions two years in a row — most recently launching five new extension capabilities along with script upload and observability tooling; you can explore our public docs at docs.stripe.com/extensibility What you'll do As a Staff Engineer on the team, you'll own the technical direction of our extensibility platform and play a central role in how we grow
