Software Engineer, Product Security Data Platforms

About the role

The Product Security Data Platforms team is a newly established engineering team within Stripe Security. Our mission is to build the foundational infrastructure that provides our users with unprecedented visibility into the security posture of their Stripe integration. We are expanding our focus to provide a comprehensive security telemetry platform that helps businesses protect their entire digital ecosystem on Stripe.

Responsibilities

• Build scalable foundations. Implement components of a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry
• Build API-first products. Develop core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to ingest security signals into their internal security operations centers and analytics tools
• Engineer security signals. Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build logic that identifies anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights
• Contribute to technical design. Participate in discussions on data modeling, storage strategies, and the abstraction layers that will support future security products
• Raise the bar for quality. Write clean, well-tested code and contribute to a culture of code quality, system resilience, and operational maturity for a product that requires 99.99%+ availability
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with Stripe's core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure while ensuring security data remains isolated and protected

• Experience building infrastructure or services used by other engineers or external developers
• Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure tools such as AWS, Kubernetes, or Terraform
