About the team

The Globalization Platform team plays a pivotal role in ensuring that Stripe products are accessible and user-friendly for customers worldwide. This team is responsible for creating and maintaining the infrastructure required to localize our products and services across various languages and cultures. By joining this team, you will contribute to providing a seamless experience for users across the globe and help expand Stripe’s global impact.

Please be aware that this role currently requires you to come to the Barcelona office once a week. In the near future, the work model will shift to a hybrid arrangement, with a 50% remote and 50% in-office presence in Barcelona, Spain.

What you’ll do

You will design, implement and maintain the platform for software internationalization at scale to drive widespread adoption among the engineering teams. The primary objective of this platform is to bring forth substantial enhancements in the quality, speed, and cost-efficiency of localization processes.

Responsibilities

• Explore cutting-edge technologies, like AI / ML-based translations, to optimize localization turn-around time and cost-effectiveness.
• Facilitate a smooth transition from the existing infrastructure to the new platform, minimizing disruptions and maintaining operational continuity.

As a member of our new generation globalization platform, we expect you to bring extensive experience that will serve as a solid foundation for our team. Additionally, we want individuals with a strong product sense and emphasis on product quality, especially as this team will be responsible for defining what a great localized, native experience is for our users and maintaining a high bar.
