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

The Commerce Systems team powers the Revenue platform at Stripe. Engineers on the Commerce Systems team build platforms and tools that make it easier for Stripe’s product and sales teams to quickly bring products to market, sign simple and complex deals while giving Stripe’s users accurate bills that reflect their contracts with Stripe. Our partners are the Product, Sales and Finance teams at Stripe whose goals are to increase Stripe’s revenue and forecasting capabilities.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for people with a strong background or interest in building successful products or systems; you’re passionate about data, increasing revenue with accurate and flexible billing and  you are comfortable with dealing with lots of moving pieces; and you’re comfortable learning new technologies and systems.

Responsibilities

• Operationalize and execute on key cross functional programs spanning all engineering organizations including managing Operation Reviews, driving efficiencies in capacity governance and launch reviews
• Partner with Engineering Managers and Technical Program Managers to define, scope and improve the operational needs within the teams
• Define and standardize documentation and communication processes
• Develop, implement, and iterate on program management procedures, frameworks, and metrics to achieve goals with defined success criteria
• Develop, define and report on program health and success metrics
• Leverage data to drive strategic decisions and reporting at the leadership level
• Create canonical documentation of plans and processes, driving consistency and alignment across teams

Who you are

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.

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering, systems engineering or technical product/program management experience
• You are not satisfied with just delivering a program on time—you are discerning about product/infrastructure architecture and obsessed with quality, reliability & correctness
• You have a track record of providing program management during all phases of software development from kick-off to ship, demonstrating critical thinking and thought leadership
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills, building strong relationships with stakeholders and teams around the organization
• You can drive internal and external process improvements across multiple teams and functions
• Experience operating autonomously and leading large-scale efforts across multiple teams and functions, with stakeholders in different disciplines across time zones
• Analytical and problem-solving experience with large-scale platforms, infrastructure and organizations
• Experience leading initiatives with a global footprint having built APIs, products, and complex systems/infrastructure at scale

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $173,400 - $260,200. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you
