Software Engineer, Infrastructure

5+ years building infrastructure systems

: Hands-on experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, data pipelines, observability, CI/CD, or other foundational platforms.

Ownership of production systems

: Track record of operating mission-critical infrastructure with strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.

: You build platforms that enable others.

You create abstractions that make complex systems approachable.

The Infrastructure team builds foundational systems at scale.

We're processing billions of events per day through world scale custom streaming infrastructure, running invoice computations that push the limits of distributed systems, and building platforms that need to be correct, fast, and efficient simultaneously.

Work spans the full infrastructure stack—from streaming platforms ingesting usage data, to huge offline batch jobs, to the observability and deployment tooling that keeps everything running reliably.

Every platform you build underpins the success of Metronome, a Stripe product.

If you're energized by hard technical challenges, building infrastructure that becomes a competitive moat, and operating systems at world scale, this is the role for you.
