About the team
Stripe Data Pipeline—The Stripe Data Pipeline (SDP) team owns a critical product that delivers all of a merchant's Stripe data directly into their data warehouse. We serve major technology companies and Fortune 100 enterprises, delivering petabytes of data daily with high reliability, low latency, and strong correctness guarantees. SDP is marching towards 99.99% availability and near real-time data freshness across multiple warehouse platforms.

The systems are distributed, multi-tenant, and operate under strict SLAs. You will work on hard problems at the intersection of data infrastructure, merchant-facing product, and operational excellence.
