About the team

The Collaboration team helps Stripe employees work smarter and efficiently, get to know each other, and request and receive help from one another. The team is nimble and creative. We work across a wide stack—on any given day, we discuss user interface design, data models, API design, infrastructure maintenance, or all of the above.

We're excited to innovate in a space that traditionally isn't thought of as at the forefront of innovation.

Being a small team, we carefully choose what we work on to have the highest leverage. This is not always easy: we work very cross-functionally, at times partnering with various groups from engineering to Communications to top management of the company. But one of our greatest rewards is getting to sit next to and see the impact our work has on our users: our fellow Stripe employees.

• You'll build these experiences by collaborating with multiple other teams across Stripe and experimenting with different ideas and the newest technologies.

Responsibilities

• Own solutions from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders to think through everything from success metrics, to the details of products and tools that you build.
• Use both qualitative and quantitative metrics to determine priorities and measure effectiveness.
• Uphold high standards for engineering and product quality and mentor newer team members to do the same.
