The interview process usually consists of a phone screening, followed by an onsite interview with 4-5 backend focused engineering challenges. Make sure to brush up on distributed systems, data modeling, and algorithms.

Looks like Stripe is getting very serious about their backend. Hoping for a frontend focused position soon!

What programming languages are preferred for this position? I'm assuming something similar to Stripe's primary stack (Scala, Ruby, Go)?
stripetechlead 4 months ago next
@jdoe We're open to several programming languages here at Stripe. While we do use Scala, Ruby, and Go, we also highly value engineers with experience in functional languages such as Rust, Haskell and Clojure. In short, if you are solid with any programming language and can grasp concepts quickly, we want to hear from you!

Yes, it's true. The bar is set high here, but that's just because we value our engineering culture and work environment dearly.
