About the role
- We are looking for AI Engineers who are energized by working close to the business and the users we serve.
Responsibilities
- As an AI Engineer, you'll be embedded directly with the Solutions Architecture team-building alongside them, deeply understanding their workflows, and shipping tools and automation that permanently change how they operate.
- You'll discover where SAs lose time and build high-impact solutions.
- And when our most strategic customer engagements need custom technical assets, you'll build those too.
- Collaborate with Solutions Architects, SA leadership, Product, and Engineering to scope technical work and translate ambiguous business needs into well-defined deliverables
- Architect and build internal tools, agents, and automated workflows that accelerate SA and manager productivity across technical discovery, solution design, demoing, user engagements, territory/pipeline management, and product interlock
- Identify patterns across SA workflows and proactively build solutions that address recurring friction
- Build custom demo environments, PoC applications, and technical assets for Stripe's most strategic customer engagements
- Document tools, architectures, and usage patterns so others can adopt and extend what you've built
- Debug, extend, and maintain backend systems across a variety of codebases and infrastructure
Requirements
- You can architect systems, debug production issues, write clean code, and reason about tradeoffs.
- 4+ years of experience as an engineer shipping production systems
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals: you can debug a failing system, trace issues across services, and reason about data flows
- Proficiency in at least two of: Ruby, Node.js, Python, or Next.js
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) including deployment, monitoring, and basic DevOps
- Demonstrated ability to work across multiple codebases and technology stacks simultaneously
- Hands-on experience using AI/LLM tools in your engineering workflow-you're fluent with AI-assisted development but not dependent on it
- you can reason through problems and debug without AI as a crutch
- you can translate technical decisions for non-technical stakeholders and navigate cross-functional collaboration naturally
- Comfort with ambiguity-you can take a loosely-defined business problem, scope the engineering work, and ship iteratively without waiting for a perfect spec
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Stripe's products, APIs, or the payments/fintech domain
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms (Salesforce, Gong, etc.)
- Background in consulting, professional services, or other roles that blend technical depth with business context
Skills
- Experience scoping and delivering work with minimal oversight in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
Compensation
- The annual US base salary range for this role is $126,600 - $235,300.
