About
the team The Developer Productivity group is responsible for making Stripe’s developers happy and productive. We work on tools, processes, and code refactoring to accelerate Stripe engineering as Stripe scales. We’re looking for people with an interest in building the tools to improve the day to day experience of Engineers in Stripe. The ideal candidate will have a passion for solving developer experience problems, and a pragmatic ability to ship results iteratively—powered by a mix of technical expertise across some or all of: language processing tools; version control systems; build systems; and distributed systems engineering.

Our active projects change all the time, but here are a few examples of recent projects so you can get an idea of the types of work we do: Build and manage systems to handle CI at massive scale—including batching, speculative stacking, merge-race inhibition, and more. Build and manage systems to handle our enormous CI test suite–identifying and managing flaky tests, assessing and reproducing flakiness, and optimizing for test effectiveness. Enhance our CI systems for reliability, including adaptive response to available capacity, resilience and self-recovery from outages, and highly-leveraged observability. Detect and isolate code breakages to minimize their blast radius. Work directly with product engineers to understand and deliver their productivity needs.
