Full Job Description
What you'll do Responsibilities As an iOS 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.
