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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. 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 Organization The Core Infrastructure organization operates the foundational systems that power Stripe globally — including databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), high availability and disaster recovery (HADR), AWS cloud infrastructure, Linux servers, container orchestration, mesh networking, service discovery, and network edge infrastructure. Within Core Infra, the Regional Enablement Platform (REP) team helps Stripe launch and operate new regions without learning about broken dependencies from users. REP builds the regionalization, validation, deploy-safety, and operator tooling needed to answer practical launch-readiness questions: can critical payment paths run from the new region, which services still depend on a remote control plane, what breaks under packet loss or failover, and what must be fixed before deploys, launches, traffic shifts, or failovers proceed. The team uses traffic replay, synthetics, failover drills, dependency analysis, CI/CD gates, and incident data to turn those findings into platform fixes, service-owner asks, and reusable readiness checks across networking, HADR, and service teams. This role is based in Bangalore and serves as a senior technical anchor for Core Infrastructure in India, with direct cross-region influence across AMER, EU, and APAC. What you'll do As a Staff Engineer on REP, you will play a key leadership role in enabling Stripe's infrastructure to power all of our products, globally and at scale. You will
