Integration Engineer (German Speaking), Professional Services

About the role

As an Integration Engineer on the Professional Services team, you'll own the technical relationship with Stripe's most strategic users—from initial discovery through to live integration and ongoing optimisation. You'll bring together deep technical expertise and consultative skills to help enterprises design and implement complex integrations, resolve issues at pace, and continuously improve how they use Stripe's platform.

What you'll do

• Plan and execute integration engineering end-to-end, from high-level architecture to code implementation—conducting discovery sessions, parsing specific use cases, and guiding users through high-complexity integrations
• Serve as the primary ongoing technical point of contact for large users' and partners' technical teams, resolving integration issues and owning escalations for operational issues and priority requests
• Lead strategic technical conversations, articulating how Stripe works from both a product feature and API architecture perspective, and managing user expectations on timelines and product changes
• Collaborate with Sales, Solution Architecture, and Implementation teams to drive user engagement and commercial outcomes on behalf of the Professional Services team
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to proactively surface potential enhancements and new features based on field feedback
• Provide deep technical support and debugging—inspecting the Stripe codebase, testing functionality thoroughly, building proof-of-concept integrations, creating user-specific test plans, and answering ad-hoc technical questions
• Review and optimise existing user integrations, providing recommendations to improve performance, reliability, and efficiency

What you'll need

• 4+ years of experience in a software engineering or integration engineering role
• Ability to write and debug code in languages such as Go, Java, C/C++, or similar
• Comfortable with code-level debugging (both Stripe and user code) and using code as a practical problem-solving tool
• Strong generalist technical background, including proficiency in SQL and a solid understanding of data structures and algorithms
• Understanding of the payments domain and API security principles
• Able to lead technical conversations and clearly explain how Stripe works from both a product feature and API architecture perspective
• User-first mindset with the ability to map business requirements to reliable technical solutions

Nice to have

• Experience in a customer-facing technical role such as solutions engineering, technical consulting, or implementation engineering
• Experience mentoring engineers or guiding technical teams through complex implementations
• Strong technical writing skills, including the ability to document complex integration guidance and processes
