What are the responsibilities and job description for the Backend / API Engineer, Move Experiences position at Linkedin?
The Money Movement Experiences organization creates the user facing APIs and product experiences to allow users to move and manage their money. Global money movement is a complex problem - and we abstract away all of that complexity from our users to make it simple for them to run their business.
We are responsible for:
Funding
Building products and abstractions for users to add money to their Stripe balances. This is common for funding reserves and refunds, as well as in order to send money to others.
Sending
Products and abstractions that give users the ability to send money to others.
Balances
Products and abstractions for users to store money and understand money movements. Users care deeply about where their money is, and this becomes more complex as we add the ability to create new kinds of money movements.
Exchanges
Products and abstractions for users to be able to convert currencies.
We are responsible for moving billions of dollars and have interesting engineering problems to solve to be able to do this in a reliable and scalable way.
Ultimately, Stripe’s mission is to increase the GDP of the internet by making it easy to build global products, services, and platforms that handle money! To enable that vision, we will be doubling in size over the next year to rapidly scale out the feature set.
You will:
- Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across Stripe’s engineering teams.
- Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large-scale.
- Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
- Shape future proof interfaces that are easy to build against and meet the requirements of product teams.
- Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack.
You may be a fit for this role if you:
- Have a strong technical background, including 7 years of experience building impactful products or systems.
- Have solid experience in designing large-scale and complex systems that delivered critical impact to the business.
- Are skilled in gathering and effectively synthesizing users’ feedback and experience with platforms and product offerings.
- Are skilled in working across engineering teams and other functions in building alignment, driving decision making, and communicating transparently.
- Are effective in giving and receiving constructive feedback to/from peers and team members.
