Team Insights

As part of the High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) team, you will play a crucial role at Stripe, where product availability is paramount. Our team is dedicated to crafting and implementing innovative solutions that ensure latency-sensitive, stateful applications remain robust against any disaster. We specialize in constructing distributed systems that thrive on unreliable architectures, delivering highly available and resilient solutions to our customers.

Your Role

In this position, you will be instrumental in shaping our global architecture by integrating less reliable components and data centers into a cohesive, highly available system. You will tackle latency-sensitive challenges where even the slightest delay is critical, and robust data redundancy is non-negotiable. Expect to rapidly gain insights and address a diverse array of issues—whether it’s exploring MongoDB write concerns, reducing cross-region TLS handshakes, or creating systems to automate disaster detection and failovers. Your contributions will empower Stripe to enhance the GDP of the internet through unprecedented uptime and data protection.
