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.

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
Our Applied ML team aims to reform how our users interact with Stripe. We are doing so by (a) automating the easy tasks, and (b) assisting our users in the difficult tasks. Some examples include helping our users resolve issues with Stripe faster or making it easier for our users to sign up and navigate Stripe. We are using the latest LLMs as well as fine-tuning our own models. We're an end-to-end team going from ideas to models to shipping in production.

What you’ll do
As a machine learning engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing opportunities, proposing ideas, training & evaluating ML models, running experiments, and deploying everything to production. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to and influence ML architecture at Stripe as well as be a part of a larger ML community.
Responsibilities
Our team operates fluidly and here are some problems you may tackle:
- How do we evaluate a system offline & online?
- How do we improve performance to match (and beat) humans?
- How do we ensure model quality doesn’t degrade online?
- Does fine-tuning an LLM give us better performance?
- What are the right OSS and in-house platforms we should invest in?
And in the process you will:
- Develop pipelines and automated processes to train and evaluate models in offline and online environments
- Integrate ML models into production systems and ensure their scalability and reliability
- Collaborate with product and strategy partners to propose, prioritize, and implement new product features
- Engage with the latest developments in ML/AI and take calculated risks in transforming innovative ML ideas into productionized solutions
Who you are

You have experience developing streaming feature pipelines, building ML models, and deploying them to production, even if it involves making substantial changes to backend code. You are comfortable with ambiguity, love to take initiative, and have a bias towards action.
Minimum requirements
- Have at least 3 years of experience shipping ML systems in production
- Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
- Take pride in taking ownership and driving projects to business impact
- Thrive in a collaborative environment

- Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
- Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
