Stripe

WorkingVendor's case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Stripe had enabled six coding assistants and wanted one tool that engineers could use without setup, with its supply-chain security concerns met.

Approach

The developer infrastructure team preinstalled Claude Code for 1,370 engineers. After two to three months of testing with Anthropic it built a signed enterprise binary that avoids the npm dependency chain. Talks, training and in-tool hints taught engineers to treat the assistant like a new colleague who needs context.

Results

Takeaway

Preconfigured tools and a security review removed the barriers to company-wide use. Teams needed to teach engineers to give the assistant context.
