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.

About The Team
The Seller Systems team is dedicated to empowering sellers and stakeholders at Stripe by streamlining and optimizing the selling process. This is a top priority for Stripe as it expands its enterprise revenue globally. We build tools and systems to make the end-to-end selling process across initial contact with customers, deal modeling, negotiation, approvals, contracting, onboarding, and activation absolutely world class. We are treating this area as an engineering problem from first-principles, implemented with a hybrid architecture of first party developed custom Stripe components inter-operating with third-party standard business components. Our vision is to be able to offer a single plane of glass experience to our Sellers at Stripe, to allow them to leverage AI through workflows that allow them to minimize overhead and increase their time on increasingly efficient selling.
What you’ll do
As a Staff Engineer in Seller Systems, you will be a technical anchor for one of Stripe's highest-priority engineering investments - building the infrastructure that powers how Stripe sells to and wins customers globally. You will own and drive multi-year technical strategy across a complex hybrid architecture of first-party Stripe systems and third-party platforms (including Salesforce), while directly shaping the seller experience across the full quote-to-cash lifecycle.
You will set the architectural direction and be a multiplier across teams - owning end-to-end technical decisions that span seller-facing workflows, core platform services, and integrations with Stripe's financial infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build scalable, reliable systems that underpin Stripe's sales motion: APIs and services that support deal creation and modeling, multi-party approval workflows, contract generation, and merchant onboarding at global scale.
- Lead Stripe's "single plane of glass" vision for sellers - driving architectural decisions on how first-party Stripe components and third-party platforms (e.g. Salesforce) interoperate, and designing systems that surface the right data and actions to sellers at the right time.
- Integrate AI and agentic workflows into the selling process, identifying high-leverage opportunities to automate seller overhead - from intelligent deal recommendations and pricing guidance to automated contract workflows and proactive activation nudges.
- Partner cross-functionally at a senior level with Go-to-Market, Finance, Legal, and Product teams to deeply understand the selling process and translate business requirements into durable technical solutions that scale with Stripe's growth.
- Raise the technical bar across the team - conduct thorough design and code reviews, establish engineering standards and best practices, and create the conditions for senior and staff-adjacent engineers to do their best work.
- Drive simplification and platform consolidation - reduce complexity in Stripe's GTM systems stack, identify opportunities to consolidate overlapping tooling, and architect toward a maintainable, extensible platform that serves sellers reliably.
- Mentor and sponsor senior engineers, helping them grow in technical scope and organizational influence, and fostering a culture of ownership, craft, and collaboration across the Seller Systems team and beyond.

In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
Pay and benefits
Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
