About the Organization
Support Experience Engineering builds the technology that powers Stripe's global support operations. Our engineers create the systems and services that support agents worldwide rely on every day to resolve issues for Stripe's millions of merchants and users — at scale, in real time, and across a growing range of channels and offerings.
The Case Resolution Platform team owns the core infrastructure and tooling that enables support agents around the world to do their best work. This includes case routing, live channels infrastructure spanning voice and messaging, machine translation, and integrations that connect Stripe's support stack to the platforms agents depend on.

The team is actively expanding its live channels infrastructure to support new messaging platforms, including in Greater China, requiring collaboration with third-party providers in the region.
