Qais Patankar
Software Engineer at stripe
New York, New York, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarQais Patankar is a software engineer with 14 years of experience focused on developer productivity and code infrastructure at Stripe in New York. He builds tooling that makes version control, code review, CI and code search hum—current work includes an Approvals Engine and an internally-hosted clone of a collaborative document editor. Previously he engineered a dynamic CI scaler that saved Stripe roughly $2M/year and led a cross-functional effort to centralize a test-data platform by partnering with Security to change policy. An active open-source maintainer, Qais contributes to projects from the Multi Theft Auto game engine (serving ~177,000 daily players) to the matterbridge integration tool, blending C++, Lua and backend systems work. He’s known for shipping unglamorous but high-impact infrastructure that other engineers only notice when it’s missing — and, in his own words, he’s emphatically not looking for work.
