Software Engineer, Fee Insights

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.

Fee Insights builds fee explainability experiences that help merchants and internal teams understand what they're paying and why. We tackle this through agentic systems that provide natural language explanations grounded in canonical fee data, self-serve tooling, and also experiences that help users reconcile and understand complex pricing at scale.

Fee transparency and explainability are critical to merchant trust and satisfaction. As Stripe's product portfolio and pricing complexity has grown, helping users understand their fees—and how they align with their contract and product usage—has become increasingly important. We're solving fundamental questions around fee transparency, building the foundations that will scale across Stripe's merchant base.

As a Software Engineer on Fee Insights, you'll work on crafting billing-related experiences for both internal teams and external merchants. You'll partner closely with product teams to build reporting, dashboards, insights, and guided user journeys that help users interact with pricing and understand fees. You’ll be navigating one of Stripe's most complex domains, gaining deep end-to-end understanding of how Stripe works—from payments to pricing to billing.
