The opportunity
Who We Are About Stripe Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies — from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups — use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities.
What they're looking for
- Own the metastore migration strategy: Drive the sequencing, backward compatibility story, rollback approach, and cross-team coordination for migrating all remaining Hive Metastore-backed workloads to the new platform. This means coordinating with dozens of consuming teams while keeping production data infrastructure operational at all times.
- Shape the object storage abstraction: Define the storage abstraction layer — including bucket provisioning, access control policy design, and the developer-facing client libraries that make object storage ergonomic and secure by default. The goal is an abstraction layer that consuming teams can adopt without needing to become storage infrastructure experts themselves.
- Lead compliance architecture: Partner with security and compliance teams to translate regulatory requirements into durable preventative technical controls — audit logging, access review infrastructure, data segregation, and lifecycle enforcement — built into the platform rather than bolted on.
- Drive cost and efficiency at petabyte scale: Identify systemic inefficiencies in storage layout, snapshot retention, and data lifecycle, and design automated, self-service tooling that scales without ongoing manual intervention from the team.
