About the team

The Internationalisation team builds the platform that helps Stripe products work naturally across languages and markets. We create and operate the infrastructure that enables Stripe teams to localize product interfaces, services, and written communications while delivering consistent, high-quality experiences to users around the world.

We work closely with our sister Localization team and its language experts, as well as with product and service engineering teams integrating localized content. Together, we combine engineering, automation, and linguistic expertise to help Stripe build products that feel native to each market.

What youll do

You will design, implement, and maintain Stripes internationalisation platform at scale, including the developer and user experiences around it. Youll help teams continuously localize their products while improving the quality, speed, reliability, and efficiency of Stripes localization processes.

This role combines backend and platform engineering with emerging LLM technology. Depending on the project, you may build end-to-end functionality for internal customers, evolve production LLM systems, develop quality-evaluation capabilities, improve platform reliability and observability, or lead migrations from legacy localization infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Design and build internationalisation infrastructure that supports diverse content surfaces, including backend services, product interfaces, and written communications.
• Integrate localization into Stripes software-development and content-production workflows, enabling teams to ship translated experiences continuously and safely.
• Build and maintain integrations with translation-management systems, LLM services and external localization providers.
• Evolve Stripes existing production LLM capabilities to improve translation quality, market relevance, turnaround time, and operational efficiency.
• Develop automated quality checks and human-evaluation workflows that combine LLM-driven automation with expert linguistic judgment.
• Maintain a high bar for reliability through effective testing, monitoring, alerting, and operational processes.
• Own ambiguous, high-impact initiatives end to endfrom research and experimentation through implementation, launch, measurement, and iteration.
