About the role
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, and the Payments organization is expanding its payments footprint in India. The India Payments team builds on Stripe's foundational platforms to handle the full lifecycle of a transaction — integration with local payment rails, initiation and intelligent routing, completion, and automated reconciliation and payouts. This role is for backend engineers to own the technical architecture behind next-generation India payment offerings, building low-latency, fault-tolerant distributed microservices and developer-facing APIs.
What you will do
- Architect and operate low-latency, fault-tolerant backend microservices that integrate with Indian payment methods
- Map complex, India-specific payment flows into Stripe’s global, unified API platforms, ensuring a seamless integration experience for developers worldwide
- Design highly reliable adapter layers that interact with domestic banking partners and payment networks, building systems that gracefully handle external API latency and asynchronous callbacks
- Own end-to-end service health, implementing shadow rollouts, distributed tracing, automated failovers and proactive alerting for 99.99% uptime
- Collaborate with Product, Regulatory/Legal, Risk and Partner Integration teams across global engineering hubs while delivering seamless developer-facing APIs
- Mentor and empower engineers to contribute independently through ongoing technical guidance and actionable feedback
- Independently scope, build and ship medium-to-large projects from ambiguous requirements to production
- Build robust APIs that hide the extreme complexity of Indian payment rails behind simple, elegant developer experiences
- Partner with product and data teams to proactively identify, size and solve the most impactful problems for our users
- Engineer highly reliable, scalable infrastructure that consistently meets strict SLAs for all internal and external systems
- Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack with an eye towards improving maintainability over the long term
- Improve engineering standards, tooling and processes
- Accelerate team velocity through high-quality code reviews and architectural collaboration
