Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About the team

Checkout experiences have only grown in complexity over the last decade. The goal of the Optimized Checkout API platform team is to provide simple, extensible abstractions for building powerful and conversion-optimized checkout experiences. 
This is a hybrid platform and user-facing team, responsible both for ensuring Stripe’s APIs are highly usable and ergonomic, as well as empowering internal teams to build their features atop our payments infrastructure. 

What you’ll do

As the Product Manager for the Optimized Checkout API Platform you'll be responsible for designing and scaling the APIs used by hundreds of thousands of businesses and get to design the future abstractions through which thousands more will build their integrations on Stripe in the future. You’ll get to work with companies ranging from innovative startups to Fortune 500s and work with teams across Stripe in designing the right API foundations. 

Responsibilities

• Own and operate the Checkout API platform—including defining a multi-year strategy for evolving and extending our on-session payment APIs, making prioritization decisions, and developing roadmaps and OKRs. 
• Be a champion for the businesses building on Stripe, by developing deep empathy for the problems that they’re encountering.
• Build a deep understanding of the competitive landscape, commerce ecosystem, and wider Stripe offering to design differentiated and extensible product experiences. 
• Collaborate with engineering, design, legal, and other teams to jointly shape product experiences that delight Stripe’s users.
• Ensure we are building a reliable, performant platform, including system reliability, API extensibility, and latency. 
• Partner with teams across Stripe that aim to build on top of the Checkout API platform. 
• Use metrics to inform your point of view and leverage analytics to measure success.
