The Link team builds the premier consumer network for next-generation commerce, leveraging our base of 300M+ registered consumers to pioneer the future of Identity, Consumer Finance, and AI-driven transactions. While our foundation was built on high-conversion merchant payments and a flexible digital wallet, we are expanding far beyond. We are building the infrastructure for a world where AI agents transact on your behalf, stable coins go mainstream, and identity dictates how money moves.

The Consumer Preference team is building the Link experience across the web app and agents — building the wallet product consumers need to feel confident, excited, and inspired by the new ways payments and identity are changing online. As a senior member of the team, you will create new experiences such as financial insights powered by purchase history, rewards cards backed by a stablecoin balance, safe agentic purchase UX, automatic purchase protections, and subscription management.

We’re hiring a Staff Full Stack Engineer to lead the design and delivery of new consumer capabilities in Link. The ideal candidate will combine technical depth across the stack with a strong product sense. In this role, you will take ambiguous product opportunities, create ways to validate them early, and ultimately ship complete products.

This is a hands‑on individual‑contributor role with broad technical and organizational scope. You will own large, cross‑functional projects from early product and technical definition through launch and iteration; lead teams of engineers through complex execution; and partner closely with the many Stripe systems and teams that provide new capabilities. You will work across the stack, building services and APIs as well as user interfaces.

You will make the architectural decisions that balance a high quality bar with the need to move fast and iterate quickly.

• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and foundational investments early, creating incremental plans that de‑risk the roadmap and accelerate future work.
• Partner with engineering teams across Stripe, building alignment and influencing their roadmaps and priorities when Link Consumer depends on shared capabilities.
• Champion pragmatic solutions and code patterns throughout our codebase, setting standards in React/JavaScript/CSS/GraphQL as well as Ruby…
