Data Scientist, Experimental Projects

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. 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.

The Experimental Projects team quickly tests new product opportunities for Stripe. We work on brand-new, zero-to-one problems by building prototypes, talking with users, analyzing what we learn, and iterating rapidly.

The team operates across a broad range of problem spaces. Rather than optimizing a single mature product area, you’ll help determine whether new ideas can solve meaningful user problems and become valuable products for Stripe. We’re looking for a Data Scientist who enjoys building, has a strong bias for action, and is comfortable moving from an ambiguous question to a practical test.

• Use data to identify, evaluate, and shape new product opportunities.
• Partner with engineers and product managers to build and test early product concepts.
• Develop analyses, models, experiments, and prototypes that help the team learn quickly.
• Talk with users and combine qualitative insights with quantitative evidence.
• Define success measures for new ideas and assess whether early results support further investment.
• Work across several new problem areas, adapting your approach as priorities and evidence change.
• Communicate findings clearly, including uncertainty, tradeoffs, and recommended next steps.
• Help establish analytical foundations for projects that may grow into larger product areas.
