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
In this role, you would join Stripe's Vulnerability Management team, whose mission is to "Surface vulnerabilities at scale across Stripe." By joining our team, you will have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach, securely.
Our vision is to create a culture of continuous excellence in managing vulnerabilities. We want to enhance customer trust by giving users context about threats and vulnerabilities affecting Stripe's systems. We aim to be a key partner in Stripe's risk management by providing visibility into vulnerabilities across Stripe's products and services.
What you’ll do
You’ll build the systems that identify and prioritize vulnerabilities across Stripe’s codebases, production infrastructure, and employee laptops. These collect software bills of materials (SBOMs) across tens of millions of lines of code, scan hundreds of thousands of hosts for package and kernel versions, and connect that inventory to known vulnerabilities (CVEs).
You’ll also build agentic systems to investigate emerging threats. For example, parsing breaking security news, identifying the technologies involved, and determining whether Stripe is affected.
Alongside this engineering work, you’ll help teams across Stripe understand their exposure, prioritize fixes, and drive remediation. The role combines building data pipelines and security automation with hands-on vulnerability analysis and security guidance for partner teams.
Since our systems interact with the entire Stripe codebase, you'll work in Go, Java, Ruby, and Python. The services we own are written in Go, so most of your hands-on work will be in Go. The typical balance of hands-on work is about 70% coding and 30% reasoning about security issues or providing guidance to partner teams.
Responsibilities
- Identify vulnerabilities using automated tools and triage them appropriately
- Collaborate with other teams to drive remediation of vulnerabilities
- Contribute to our overall security and risk management strategy
- Continuously improve our security posture, processes, and tools

Minimum requirements
- 5+ years of industry software engineering experience (does not include internships or co-ops)
- Significant software engineering experience within the security domain
- Empathy, strong communication skills and a deep respect for the power of collaboration

- Have mentored early career engineers in security and software engineering craft
Preferred qualifications
- An ability to think creatively and holistically about reducing risk in a complex environment
