New-grad software engineer seat at Stripe in Bengaluru, open to graduates with a CS or related degree obtained by summer 2027 and no more than 18 months of professional experience.

This full-time Bengaluru role was posted on 28 October 2026. Stripe hires new graduates onto small teams that ship to production, and the listing is explicit that fundamentals matter more than any specific language: the company works mostly in Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Scala and Go, and expects new languages to be learned on the job.

About Stripe

Per its listing, Stripe builds programmable financial infrastructure used by more than 10 million businesses, processing trillions of dollars a year - around 1.6% of global GDP by the company's own account. The listing describes a culture that values ambition, curiosity, humility and rigor, and a pace where products are upgraded daily. Learn more on Stripe's website.

The role in plain terms

New grads at Stripe join real product teams rather than a separate graduate program track. The listing frames the seat around individual agency: small teams deploy work that reaches a meaningful fraction of the world's businesses. Expect production code, code review, and mentorship from experienced engineers, with the current replatforming of the global economy around AI named as the context for much of the work.

What the employer asks for

These minimum requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or a directly related field, obtained by summer 2027, or equivalent work experience; New grad candidates should have no more than 18 months of professional experience (excluding internship experience).
Experience and familiarity with programming, either through side projects or classwork. We work mostly in Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Scala, and Go. We believe new programming languages can be learned if the fundamentals and general knowledge are present.
Experience from either previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects (in a university or professional setting).
Ability to learn unfamiliar systems and form an understanding of those systems, through independent research and working with a mentor or subject matter experts.
Clear written communication skills, with the ability to explain your work to stakeholders, team members, and other Stripes.
Ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate development while applying rigorous critical thinking and professional judgement to review, refine, and validate all outputs.

The listing's preferred qualifications add: one or more areas of specialized knowledge (frontend, backend, infrastructure or other) balanced with general skills; experience with code review practices and safely updating production systems; familiarity with large code bases; experience leading small projects independently; and high agency in navigating technical obstacles, knowing when to unblock yourself and when to ask for help.

Who this role suits

Students and recent graduates who already build things - side projects, internships or substantial classwork - and can point to collaborative code they shipped. The 18-month experience cap is strict, so this is not the right listing for engineers with more time in industry; Stripe's other postings cover those. Strong written communication is a stated requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Practical notes

Expect Stripe's process to test fundamentals over framework trivia: data structures, problem solving and a review of projects you can discuss in depth. Prepare one project story where you learned an unfamiliar system on your own, since the listing calls that out directly. The listing also names AI-assisted development with rigorous review of outputs, so be ready to talk about how you validate generated code.

Working at Stripe

Engineering at Stripe spans payments, billing, risk and fraud infrastructure and developer tooling. India engineering seats, including this Bengaluru one, work on the same global products as the rest of the company.

Pay context for this role

Stripe's own posting does not state pay - Stripe says it does not yet publish pay ranges in every country. On Levels.fyi, where employees self-report compensation, Stripe entry-level (L1) software engineers in India report total pay of about Rs 58 lakh a year, made up of roughly Rs 31 lakh base salary, Rs 24 lakh a year in stock and Rs 4 lakh bonus (data as of 16 October 2026). This is employee-reported data for India overall, not pay confirmed by Stripe for this opening, so treat it as a rough guide and confirm the actual package in the interview or offer letter.

How to apply

Apply directly on the employer's site: Software Engineer, New Grad at Stripe. We found this listing on the Greenhouse public job board API (stripe.com), where it was posted on 28 Oct 2026 and was still open when we checked on 30 Oct 2026. Before applying, re-read the employer's own description in full, since eligibility details, deadlines and process steps can change at any time and the employer's page is always the final word. Tailor your resume to the specific requirements above rather than sending a generic one: mirror the skills and tools the listing names where you genuinely have them. A short, specific note on why this team and this problem interest you goes further than a long generic cover letter. Never pay a fee to apply or interview; genuine employers, including this one, do not charge candidates.
