Who we are

About Bridge

Bridge is Stripe’s fintech innovation hub focused on building a modern, stablecoin-powered cross-border payments network. We operate like a startup within Stripe: fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and product-obsessed, but with the backing of one of the most trusted names in fintech.

About the team

We’re hiring our Lead Security Engineer to build and scale Bridge’s security foundation. This is a rare opportunity to design a security program from the ground up, while also leveraging the infrastructure, best practices, and tooling of one of the most mature security organizations in the industry.

What you’ll do

  • Design, own, and implement Bridge’s security roadmap from first principles to production.
  • Identify and tackle Bridge’s most important security risks quickly and pragmatically.
  • Integrate with Stripe’s infrastructure where it makes sense, and find custom solutions where it doesn’t.
  • Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for Bridge’s money movement systems in collaboration with crypto and infra teams.
  • Build key security capabilities (monitoring, secrets management, incident response, access controls, CI/CD hardening, etc).
  • Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure.
  • Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and Stripe’s security org to move fast without compromising safety.

Minimum requirements

  • Have 8+ years of experience in Security engineering, ideally with time spent in fast-paced startup environments where you’ve built security practices from the ground up.
  • Have a startup mindset: you’re scrappy, pragmatic, and move quickly to solve the most critical problems.
  • Are comfortable writing and debugging backend application code (Ruby is a plus, but not required).
  • Thrive in ambiguity and know how to ruthlessly prioritize.
  • Can balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments.
  • Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners.
  • Have experience building or scaling security programs, either at a startup or in an embedded role.
  • Are excited about the potential of crypto and stablecoins to power global financial infrastructure (you don’t need deep prior knowledge—just curiosity and openness to learn).
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $224,000 - $336,000. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
