About the team
The Capital and Small Business Risk team is responsible for managing the end-to-end risk strategy for Stripe's lending product and devising growth-friendly solutions that reduce the overall credit risk for businesses who process payments on Stripe. The team is based in the US and APAC and is composed of curious, driven, and analytical individuals who are passionate about using their skills to shape the future of Stripe. We partner closely with Stripe's engineering, data science, product, and servicing teams to leverage existing platforms, integrate industry best practices, and develop novel solutions to evaluate and manage credit risk. If you are interested in joining a fast-growing organization and applying your experience to shape the future of Stripe, we encourage you to apply.
