Stripe provides the economic infrastructure that powers internet commerce. The company enables millions of businesses - from emerging startups to more than 100 industry leaders processing over $1 billion annually - to accept payments online and in person, send payouts, automate financial processes, and access a suite of revenue growth tools. In 2024, businesses on the platform processed over $1.4 trillion in payments.
The technical demands of this mission are substantial. Stripe's systems process 250 million API requests daily while maintaining 99.999% uptime. The platform supports 135+ currencies and payment methods across 50+ countries, requiring exceptional depth in payments processing, API scale and performance, financial automation, and site reliability engineering. This infrastructure challenge attracts engineers seeking to solve problems at significant scale.
The company operates from dual headquarters in San Francisco and Dublin, with offices in London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo, and other global locations. This geographic distribution reflects Stripe's ambition to serve global commerce and build the foundational financial systems that the internet economy depends on.
