Strong technical foundation in Ruby, Python and SQL.
Strong desire to supplement your workflow with AI-augmented IDEs like Cursor.
Proven track record of partnering with internal or external stakeholders to elicit needs, define solutions, and deliver value.
Naturally scrappy, resourceful, and eager to take initiative; you enjoy navigating ambiguity and building something from the ground up.
Excellent communicator who can engage with technical and non-technical team members across functions and levels.
Product-minded engineer: you not only build code, but also think deeply about user experience, workflow optimization, and how tools fit into broader business processes.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment where priorities shift and you will be the bridge between product needs and engineering execution.

Responsibilities

Lead the design, build, and maintenance of internal tools, dashboards, automations, or feature sets to support our investment team.

At Stripes you’ll join a team that values entrepreneurial thinking, operational excellence, and genuine collaboration.
The tools and systems you build will directly impact the speed and effectiveness of our entire firm — giving you high visibility, real ownership, and meaningful impact every day.
