Full Job Description
What you'll do Responsibilities
As an Android engineer on the Identity team, you will:
Design, build, and maintain Stripe Identity's mobile SDKs and verification experiences across iOS, Android, and React Native.
Create intuitive, polished experiences for complex flows such as identity-document and selfie capture, while accounting for accessibility, device capabilities, and varied real-world conditions.
Build reliable and extensible SDK APIs and reusable components that make it easy for developers to integrate Stripe Identity into their applications.
Work across mobile clients, supporting APIs, and services to deliver features end to end rather than treating the mobile application as an isolated layer.
Make thoughtful architectural decisions that balance user experience, developer experience, security, privacy, and long-term maintainability.
Partner closely with product managers, designers, machine-learning engineers, backend engineers, user researchers, and other mobile teams.
Work with Stripe users and field teams to understand integration challenges and turn their feedback into product and platform improvements.
Help establish and evolve mobile-engineering practices across Identity and Stripe.
Operate and maintain the systems and SDKs the team owns, including diagnosing production issues and improving them based on what we learn.
Who you are
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. Minimum requirements
3+ years of professional software-development experience, including meaningful experience building and shipping mobile applications or SDKs.
Experience developing for at least one major mobile platform using technologies such as Kotlin or Java for Android.
Strong software-design fundamentals and experience creating maintainable APIs, components, or frameworks.
Experience delivering mobile functionality beyond an isolated UI layer for example, integrating with APIs and services, handling local state, or working with device capabilities.
Experience testing, debugging, monitoring, and improving mobile software in production.
Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, product, design, and other technical and non-technical partners.
A demonstrated commitment to building high-quality user and developer experiences.
Preferred qualifications
Experience building mobile SDKs, shared libraries, or developer-facing APIs used outside your immediate team.
Experience with both iOS and Android, or with cross-platform technologies such as React Native or Kotlin Multiplatform.
Experience with camera, image-processing, document-capture, biometrics, or other device-integrated mobile experiences.
Experience designing mobile software that handles sensitive data and applies security and privacy principles by default.
Familiarity with accessibility, internationalization, mobile performance, and unreliable network conditions.
Experience with mobile CI, automated testing, release automation, observability, or developer-productivity tooling.
Experience contributing to backend APIs or services that support mobile products.
Ability to simplify complex requirements and favor durable, scalable solutions.
Comfort reasoning clearly and moving with urgency in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Familiarity with Stripe's products, ideally through integrating Stripe APIs or SDKs into another application.
