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

As a platform company powering businesses all over the world, Stripe processes payments, runs marketplaces, and detects fraud, helping entrepreneurs start an internet business from anywhere in the world. User Billing provides a central entry point for Stripe teams to monetize products in global markets. We build platforms and services to define and manage pricing, calculate and collect Stripe’s revenue, and empower Stripe and our users to understand and manage revenue and costs. We work on customer-facing experiences, internal platforms, and data pipelines to empower Accounting, Finance, Strategy, Sales, and Stripe’s Products to drive business value across the entire user and product lifecycle.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for a seasoned technical leader to drive the technical direction and strategy for Stripe’s User Billing platform including APIs and platforms for internal users and teams, backend systems, and data pipelines. As a staff engineer in User Billing, you’ll work with engineering managers, senior engineers, and cross-functional partners to design the technical underpinnings of the product and to act as a technical mentor and leader for other engineers. At the same time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to be hands-on building key systems and will be directly responsible for the successful delivery of large-scale technical efforts. Your goals will include increasing the self-serve capabilities of the billing platform to accelerate product development across Stripe’s product suite; launching new pricing and monetization capabilities for our product and sales teams; ensuring the rigor, accuracy, and predictability of billing outcomes; and enabling our partners in finance, strategy, and accounting to deeply understand Stripe’s business performance.

User Billing is a core engine powering many of Stripe’s biggest bets, from shipping new products faster to redefining our commercial strategy. The right technical leadership will allow us to scale faster and more reliably as our business accelerates. If that sounds exciting, we’d love to speak with you.

Responsibilities
  • Refine and extend the technical roadmap for the org, making effective tradeoffs between short- and long-term priorities by taking into consideration business priorities, user experience, and strong technical foundations
  • Drive interoperability across platforms in User Billing and integrations across Stripe with product, accounting, sales, finance, and data science teams
  • Help drive sound technical decision making within User Billing and align technical roadmaps with other teams across Stripe
  • Ensure our platform solutions and billing data are high quality, meet the needs of our internal users, and position us to meet Stripe’s growth
  • Lead large cross-team and cross-functional efforts to develop new monetization and commercial capabilities to support Stripe’s product and sales strategies
  • Assist with team growth and development by mentoring engineers at all levels
  • Raise the bar for technical excellence by leading by example reinforcing high-quality engineering practices
