Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. 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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About The Team

The GRC Systems team provides and integrates 3rd party tools that help Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) teams detect regulatory changes and orchestrate how policies, risks, controls and audits are managed. These teams ensure that Stripe stays compliant and trusted by users, partners and regulators.

We’re actively pivoting to building GRC systems at Stripe’s scale that bring joy to our users, empowering them to be surprisingly great at assurance. The team is small, nimble and sits right at the intersection of Engineering and Compliance teams. We’re excited to innovate in a space that has stubbornly remained full of toil and friction for decades.

What you’ll do

As a Full Stack Engineer on the GRC Systems team, you’ll be the founding engineer for Stripe’s authoritative GRC System of Record. You will build high quality applications that bridge the gap between our 3rd party toolchain and Stripe’s needs with the explicit goal of evolving these into a self-sufficient platform over time.

You will focus on building software that delivers seamless user experiences, making complex assurance tasks, like assessing technology risk or conducting audits, feel simple and intuitive. This might involve designing and implementing the data models, APIs and services that power critical GRC capabilities, enabling us to aggregate risks from across Stripe and map controls to multiple regulatory frameworks. You will build the integrations that stitch together our ecosystem, automating the flow of data between the GRC tools and internal systems. You will explore using LLMs and agentic AI to improve assurance outcomes in a domain where reproducibility and auditability are non-negotiables.

Work side-by-side with GRC power users to identify toil and friction, replacing them with intuitive workflows that bring joy to their day-to-day work

Integrate systems provided by external vendors with internal infrastructure ensuring data flows seamlessly

Prototype and productionize GenAI features that augment human judgement, such as agents that pre-populate risk assessments or map regulatory changes to controls

Maintain high standards for code quality, reliability and security ensuring GRC systems are robust and validated to be fit for purpose in assurance activities

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.

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.
