What you’ll do
We’re looking for a product-minded engineering leader who’s excited to transform how a company plans and executes its work. You’ll lead the StripeOS engineering team as it builds the next generation of Stripe’s planning and execution tools. You’ll set the team’s direction, grow and support its engineers, and stay close to the technical work: shaping architecture, prototyping new ideas alongside your team, putting them in the hands of real users, and turning the strongest experiments into products used across Stripe.
This leadership role combines technical depth with broad product scope. You’ll work hand in hand with product managers and designers to define what we build, turning ambitious ideas into the right technical solutions. You’ll combine full-stack engineering with emerging AI capabilities and guide your team through open-ended problems where the right product, interface, and architecture emerge together. The potential impact of this role is enormous, and it will keep growing across the entire company.
Responsibilities
Drive the team’s vision for AI-native workflows: rethink how Stripe employees plan, decide, and execute with AI at the core, and build agents and assistants that synthesize context, automate repetitive work, and help people make better decisions
Partner with product managers and designers to set the team’s direction and roadmap, turn ambitious ideas into well-scoped technical plans, and guide the delivery of full-stack products, including web and mobile experiences, AI-powered features, and integrations with internal tools and platforms
Stay deeply engaged in the technical work: review designs, weigh in on architecture, and prototype new approaches with your team
Lead, grow, and support your engineers through coaching, mentoring, and clear feedback, and partner with Stripe’s recruiting team to recruit top engineering talent and build a diverse, high-performing team
Shape how the team operates, from engineering practices and standards for experimentation to AI-native development that helps the team prototype faster and ship with confidence
Engage directly with users across Stripe to understand how they work, turn what you learn into products they love, and measure the impact of what the team ships to double down on what makes Stripe employees more productive
Set a high bar for quality, reliability, security, and privacy, especially when building on sensitive internal context
