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

Stripe is one of the fastest growing technology companies in the world, and we’re scaling in every dimension: users, revenue, people, technology, processes, and more.

The API Services team is building the systems that power Stripe’s internal and public APIs. We’re looking for people passionate about distilling complexity across a breadth of problems and that strive in high impact environments. We aim to create new tools and experiences that can solve hard problems for our users—both internal and external developers. We are major contributors to the latency and reliability of Stripe’s APIs, and you’ll be responsible for ensuring we maintain a reliable and secure platform. 

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to define the technical vision as we build the foundation that will power Stripe's APIs for the next decade!

  • Build Stripe’s public API infrastructure and tooling
  • Ensure our APIs are secure, reliable, and performant
  • Solve product problems and build delightful API and developer experiences for our users
  • Work across different products, tech stacks, and programming languages
  • Turn ambiguous problems that our developer users are facing into concrete products, from proposal, to kick-off, to building, and launch
  • Lead cross-functional and cross-team initiatives

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.

  • Demonstrated experience of leading initiatives across large engineering organizations, spanning multiple teams and leveraging deep domain expertise to influence tech roadmap planning and execution
  • A strong passion for API design and amazing developer experiences
  • An ability to collaborate with designers, product managers, and other Stripe product teams to come up with high-impact ways of quickly solving our users’ problems
