AI Engineer — Stripe Radar

About this AI Engineer role at Stripe

Stripe is hiring senior AI engineers in Bengaluru to build and improve Radar, their fraud-detection system that protects millions of transactions daily. This is a rare opportunity for experienced ML professionals in India to work on high-impact problems at a global fintech leader, combining cutting-edge AI with real-world payments security at scale.

What you'll do

• Build and optimize gradient boosting models for fraud detection on transactional data, working with production systems that process millions of events.
• Develop transformer-based models for sequence modeling on payment histories and user behavior patterns.
• Deploy real-time inference pipelines that make fraud decisions in milliseconds during payment authorization.
• Work with tabular and sequential data specific to the payments domain, applying machine learning techniques to reduce fraud while minimizing false positives.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate fraud patterns into model improvements and new detection rules.

Who should apply

You'll need 5+ years of production machine learning experience—this is a senior-level AI engineer role. You should be comfortable with gradient boosting frameworks, transformer architectures, and shipping real-time ML systems. Payments domain knowledge is a plus; strong fundamentals in ML and the ability to learn quickly matter most. This role expects you to work independently on complex problems.

Salary & offer in context

Stripe offers ₹50–100 LPA plus RSUs for this Bengaluru position, which translates to approximately ₹4.2–8.3 lakhs per month. For a senior AI engineer in India's private tech sector, this is a competitive offer that reflects both technical seniority and the fintech premium.
