This role is ideal for a mid-level Android developer (2–6 years of experience) who enjoys working at the intersection of software and hardware. The team is looking for someone with deep Kotlin expertise who is comfortable building not just apps, but also the SDKs and frameworks that power physical payment terminals. If you have a passion for developer experience and want to shape how businesses handle in-person transactions, this is a high-impact opportunity. The standout feature of this position is its flexibility; it is fully remote across the US and Canada, though there is a slight preference for those in the PST time zone to simplify collaboration. You’ll be working on a custom platforms team, meaning you’ll have a significant influence on the architectural standards used by both internal teams and external developers. It’s a rare chance to work on "financial infrastructure" that has a tangible, physical presence in the world. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 2–6 years of experience building and maintaining Android applications in Kotlin. * Enjoy the challenge of developing for custom hardware rather than just standard consumer smartphones. * Are a "simplifier" who can turn complex technical requirements into clean, scalable API designs. * Prioritize the end-user experience, specifically focusing on how other developers will interact with your SDKs.
## Who we are
### About Stripe
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.

### About the team
Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team’s mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments. Stripe was founded to make it easier for developers to accept payments. We’ve solved a small part of that problem, but our ambition is to go much further.
Android engineers on the Terminal team will build and enhance the Device Platform including the applications and services that run on the physical Terminal devices. This also includes building the frameworks for other engineers, both internal and external to stripe, to develop on our custom platform with ease.
