<h2><strong>Who we are</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>About Stripe</strong></h3>
<p>Stripe is a technology company focused on improving the conditions for economic growth and prosperity. We build programmable financial infrastructure, rethinking from first principles how financial services should work, to make it easier and cheaper for any business to start and scale. More than 10 million <a href="https://stripe.com/customers">businesses</a> build on Stripe, spanning the economic frontier—from solo founders to established enterprises—united by a practical focus on growth. The most ambitious companies in the world use Stripe as core infrastructure to grow faster. They process trillions of dollars a year on Stripe, equivalent to around 1.6% of global GDP. While economic growth makes everyone better off, open markets also enable greater variety. When any business can easily serve a global customer base, the quality and diversity of products in the world increase, and craft and creativity are unleashed into the smallest niches. Our own growth is wholly contingent on the success of the businesses building on Stripe. We therefore invest back into our technology at an unusual rate. We make <a href="https://stripe.com/roadmap">upgrades to our products</a> every single day to deliver compounding gains to our customers. We maintain some of the most <a href="https://status.stripe.com/">reliable APIs</a> on the internet. We build entirely new <a href="https://tempo.xyz/">pieces</a> of <a href="https://mpp.dev/">financial</a> <a href="https://joinopenstandard.com/">infrastructure</a> to enable new ideas. And our significant advances in <a href="https://stripe.com/radar">risk and fraud</a> infrastructure over many years are making the internet economy safer and more accessible. </p>
<p>Though people at Stripe don’t tend to take themselves seriously, Stripe is a fairly serious place: our customers are depending on us for their livelihoods. We admire ambition, intensity, curiosity, humility, and rigor. The most effective people become knowledgeable about many domains besides their own. Any company is an applied exercise in understanding some aspect of society or the market. In working with so many (especially the new and innovative ones), we think that Stripe is one of the very best places to learn about how the world works.</p>
<h2><strong>What you'll do</strong></h2>
<p>As an intern at Stripe you’ll work on projects across our stack that directly impact the way millions of businesses operate. You’ll own problems end to end with the support of your manager and teammates. It’s an opportunity to work alongside some of the most creative and technically rigorous engineers in the industry and learn how to ship high-quality work at scale. By contributing to Stripe’s codebase you’ll work across domains that give you insight into how the global economy works. Recent intern projects include expanding Stripe’s Payments Foundation Model capabilities to improve generalized anomaly detection, building more approachable fraud controls, creating safer payouts, and developing user-facing solutions that prevent costly pricing mistakes and make merchant checkout setup easier.</p>
<p>Our internship program is competitive and the expectations are high.</p>
