Stripe is hiring a Software Engineer onto its Core Infrastructure team in Sydney, part of the wider Infrastructure and Corporate Tech organisation. The team builds and operates the infrastructure that every Stripe product team depends on, with scale, availability, efficiency and latency as the stated priorities.

What they are looking for - Five or more years of professional software development experience - Experience building, deploying and managing infrastructure on a major cloud provider - A strong distributed systems background at scale, together with operating system knowledge - Skill at diagnosing faults in distributed systems and tracking down resource constraints - Familiarity with modern observability practice: distributed tracing, structured logging and system level metrics - Willingness to work from the Sydney office, since Stripe expects office assigned staff in most locations to spend at least half of each month there
