Staff Backend Engineer, Datalake Platform
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 Datalake team builds and maintains Stripe's foundational data access and governance infrastructure — the paved path for safe, fast, and compliant access to Stripe's critical big data assets. We serve developers, data engineers, analysts, ML and AI teams, security teams, and business users across the company. The team is in the middle of a significant architectural transition as Stripe grows. We are making Stripe's data lake a first-class citizen of the modern data ecosystem to support our growing scale and diverse workloads. What Makes This Role Compelling Foundational infrastructure with broad reach: The Datalake team's systems sit in the critical path of nearly every data workload at Stripe. Decisions affect petabytes of data, hundreds of production pipelines, and every engineering team that builds on Stripe's data lake. Multi-cloud architecture design and transition: You will lead the strategy to transition to a multi-cloud architecture and implement disaster recovery plans. Active, high-stakes, OSS-aligned architectural transformation: You will lead a multi-year migration to modern, open-source solutions like the Apache Iceberg. This is a technically deep project involving critical architectural choices at each step, from API design and compute engine integration to authorization models, where your opinions and technical influence will directly shape how the platform engages with the broader data infrastructure ecosystem. At Stripe you’ll have the scale of the large company and the agency to influence technical strategy and the roadmap Responsibilities Architect the unified Iceberg platform: Lead the technical design of a metastore service as it becomes the single source of truth for Iceberg table management across all compute engines — Spark, Trino, Flink, and PyIceberg. Define the API contracts, authorization model, per-table credential vending, and integration patterns that every data pipeline at the company will depend on. Lead compliance architecture: Partner with security and compliance teams to translate regulatory requirements into durable preventative technical controls — audit logging, access review infrastructure, data segregation, and lifecycle enforcement — built into the platform rather than bolted on. Drive cost and efficiency at petabyte scale: Identify systemic inefficiencies in storage layout, snapshot retention, and data lifecycle, and design automated, self-service tooling that scales without ongoing manual intervention from the team. Set the technical bar: Own critical design reviews, establish standards for reliability, security, and developer experience, and mentor senior engineers through high-stakes architectural decisions. Provide the technical judgment that keeps the platform moving fast without accumulating structural debt. Who You Are Minimum requirements 10+ years of professional software engineering experience Demonstrated track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed storage or data infrastructure systems. Deep experience with object storage (S3, Azure Blob, or equivalent) — including IAM, access control policy design, lifecycle management, and operational practices at petabyte scale. Proven ability to lead complex, multi-quarter infrastructure projects end-to-end, including cross-team dependency management and coordinating migrations across many consuming teams. Strong background in authorization and access control design for distributed data systems. Preferred requirements 5+ years of Backend/Infrastructure Software Engineering experience. Experience safely executing large-scale data migrations with a strong instinct for sequencing, blast radius reduction, rollback, and data integrity validation. A strong developer experience sensibility: the ability to build abstractions that are ergonomic, well-documented, and actively reduce toil for the engineering teams that depend on your platform. 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.
