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. 

The Stripe Data Pipeline team builds and operates the product that helps businesses connect their Stripe data directly to their own data warehouses like Amazon Redshift and Snowflake. Our mission is to save our users valuable engineering time by providing a fully managed, reliable, and easy-to-use ETL pipeline. We empower businesses to unlock granular, near real-time data, giving them a complete analytical picture to power their BI tools and custom reporting without having to build or maintain their own data connectors.

The Stripe Data Pipeline is part of Stripe's broader Revenue and Finance Automation (RFA) suite that gives businesses power over the entire life cycle of their cash flow. By coordinating billing, tax, accounting, reporting, and data services in one modern stack, Stripe's revenue and finance automation suite eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy finance tools and supports revenue growth.
