Staff Software Engineer, Alloy Integrations

About Stripe

About the team

What you'll do

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain integrations between Metronome and external billing, payments, marketplace, ERP, and CRM platforms
• Build reliable, event-driven systems for invoice delivery, payment workflows, and status sync, with safe retries, rollbacks, and reconciliation
• Ship features that help customers control how they invoice, collect, and account for revenue, from design through launch
• Improve observability and automated repair across our systems so problems are caught and fixed before customers notice them
• Participate in an on-call rotation and lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and follow-up work for the systems the team owns
• Plan and carry out migrations and changes to existing integrations without disrupting customer billing
• Partner with product, support, solutions architecture, and other engineering teams to scope work and represent customer needs
• You'll build and operate distributed systems that move billing data between Metronome and the platforms our customers use to run their finances. The work combines product engineering and reliability. You'll ship features that customers ask for directly, and you'll strengthen the event-driven pipelines that handle large invoicing spikes every month-end.
• You'll work closely with our product manager, with partner engineering teams that own contracts, usage rating, and invoice finalization, with solutions architects who build ERP integrations with customers, and with technical support engineers who work with customers every day. In your first few months, you'll ship a customer-facing improvement to one of our integrations, join the on-call rotation, and take ownership of one of our core systems.
