Founding-engineer-style role building Stripe's greenfield AI-driven support product from scratch in Dublin

This is an early hire on Stripe's Support Experience team in Dublin — a startup-within-Stripe building a greenfield product combining AI-driven automated support with better access to technical experts. You'll operate like a founding engineer: driving projects from problem statement to implementation, building full-stack product experiences, and integrating with Stripe's existing systems. The JD explicitly wants comfort with ambiguity, rapid pivots based on customer feedback, and hands-on experimentation with AI in the product.
