The Payments ML Accelerator team is developing foundational ML capabilities that drive innovation across Stripe's payment products. We build deep learning models that tackle Stripe's most complex payment challenges - from fraud detection to authorization optimization - and deliver measurable business impact. Our work combines advanced ML techniques with large-scale data infrastructure to enable rapid experimentation and seamless deployment of AI-powered solutions. As a central ML innovation hub, we work closely with product teams to identify high-impact opportunities and implement scalable solutions that can be leveraged across the organization.
As a machine learning engineer on our team, you’ll develop advanced ML solutions that directly impact Stripe’s payment products and core business metrics. Your role will span the entire ML lifecycle, from research and experimentation to production deployment.
You’ll work on high-leverage problems that require innovation in modeling, optimization, and system design. Where possible, you’ll look beyond point solutions - designing approaches and architectures that are reusable, extensible, and serve as foundation models for future capabilities.
The role demands strong technical judgment, deep knowledge of modern ML methods, and the ability to translate ideas into systems that deliver measurable impact. You’ll partner with product and engineering teams to identify opportunities where ML can move the needle today while setting Stripe up for long-term success.
