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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

The Commerce Systems Automation and Acceleration (CSAA) team at Stripe is dedicated to revolutionizing the company's financial ecosystem through innovative automation solutions. Our mission is to empower Stripe's financial operations by streamlining and optimizing critical processes such as invoicing, revenue recognition, fund flow, and e-invoicing.

By developing cutting-edge technologies, we aim to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across Stripe's financial landscape, ultimately enabling the company to deliver seamless financial experiences to its users while maintaining compliance in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.

One of our key focuses is achieving Unified Global Invoicing Excellence, where we simplify and streamline invoicing processes across all geographies, developing a flexible and scalable platform that adapts to local regulations. This automation allows us to create a unified user experience for generating, sending, and managing invoices globally, significantly reducing manual work and errors while improving overall user satisfaction.

Another crucial aspect of our team's work is Expedited Delivery with Regulatory Compliance for Revenue Recognition. We are committed to accelerating the implementation of revenue recognition processes while ensuring full compliance with local and international accounting standards.

Our team is developing a system that can quickly adapt to changing regulatory requirements, creating automated checks and balances to maintain accuracy while increasing speed. This enables Stripe to confidently navigate complex regulatory landscapes while delivering timely and accurate financial reporting, which in turn unblocks the expansion of the Commerce Systems suite.

Through our efforts in both global invoicing and revenue recognition, we strive to solidify Stripe's position as a leader in financial technology and support its mission to increase the GDP of the internet, allowing for quick addition of new commercial constructs and enhancing Stripe's overall capabilities.
