About the team

The Mobile Development Productivity team makes building, testing, and releasing Stripe’s mobile applications and device-integrated software fast, reliable, and secure. The team owns the mobile development platform end to end, including development environments, simulators and emulators, continuous integration, automated testing, builds, and releases. We support engineers working across iOS, Android, React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform, mobile SDKs, and device-integrated software.

Our customers include engineers working on Stripe Dashboard Mobile, Link, Stripe’s mobile SDKs, and Terminal. We enable mobile engineers to use AI agents throughout the development process, including writing code, running tests, and validating changes across mobile platforms. Our work reduces manual release effort, improves test coverage, and makes mobile development faster and more reliable.
