Staff Engineer, Core Infrastructure

You will decide how Stripe validates that a new region can safely take traffic and continue working through network loss, failover, and deploy changes.

You will define the checks that must pass before launch or failover, build validation systems that replay real production paths against regional infrastructure…

You will also help build Core Infrastructure's senior technical bench in Bangalore through design review, mentoring, and cross-region technical leadership.

Define evidence-based readiness criteria for regional launches, traffic migrations, and failovers — replacing manual checklists with repeatable, globally consistent patterns.

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.

BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent field.

Proven track record leading complex, cross-team or company-wide infrastructure projects with high reliability and scale requirements.

Strong engineering background in distributed systems, platform engineering, or backend infrastructure, with a focus on operational safety and correctness.
