Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.
In this role, you’ll be on the Developer Platform product management team, and work across both the API Platform and Developer User Experience engineering teams. API Platform is responsible for Stripe’s API infrastructure, including the backend service that powers Stripe’s events and webhooks product experience. You’ll also work closely with the Developer User Experience team to ship the right product experiences across our Developer Dashboard, CLI, SDKs, and Visual Studio Extension. In short, you’ll own both the backend and frontend product requirements.
First a little context: whenever a user takes an action on Stripe, such as creating an invoice, an event is created. In many cases, developers need to listen for these events, so that their backend integration can run custom code, such as saving the customer information associated with the invoice to their database.
In this role, you’ll be the product manager of tools and technologies that communicate between Stripe and a user’s infrastructure. For example, you’ll set the standard for the platform-wide design of the event payload, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end webhooks user experience – critical to the asynchronous nature of many of our most important APIs –, and you’ll partner with the IAM team to ensure security history events are delivered to our users’ SIEM systems for further analysis. You’ll also work on our new remote function extensibility primitive, which allows third-party developers to call APIs from their Stripe Apps; this is the underlying functionality that is enabling Stripe to call out to 3rd-party tax providers, such as Avalara.
Stripe aims to deliver the best experience for developers in the industry. There are a million features we could build, but as a Stripe platform product manager, you’ll be responsible for answering what we should build. You’ll meet with both developers and internal Stripe teams to understand their needs and shape your product perspective. In partnership with engineering, you’ll coauthor the product strategy and roadmap, with the goal of each new release making a measurable impact on the business. You’ll also define product requirements and -- most importantly -- ship new features to market.
Experience with event-based architectures and technologies, such as Kafka, Amazon EventBridge, Azure Event Grid, or Google Pub/Sub, will be very valuable in this role.
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
