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 team
Stripe will succeed at our mission of increasing the GDP of the internet only if we prove ourselves worthy of our users’ trust. The Data Privacy Technologies team contributes to this by building systems that allow Stripe to deeply reason about and protect user data, at scale. As an engineering team, we leverage system design and applied AI/ML to innovate in data classification and pseudonymization techniques such as tokenization, redaction, filtering, and masking.
