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 Account Abstractions team owns the representation of end-user identity across all Stripe products. We build user-facing APIs and end-to-end experiences that interoperate across the entire Stripe product suite and operate at the scale frontier for some of Stripe’s most demanding use cases.

We’re at a pivotal moment in Accounts’ evolution, unlocking platform functionality that will fundamentally shift how Stripe products work together (like expanding networked onboarding across products), and power some of Stripe’s most ambitious product roadmap goals in 2026. We’re looking for the right technical leader to define our technical direction and drive cross-cutting product delivery.

This high-visibility role requires close collaboration with engineering leaders across Stripe and the ability to set ambitious goals for a high-performing team.

What you’ll do

We are seeking an experienced technical leader to define and drive the evolution of our organization’s technical and product vision. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and strategy, helping the organization navigate the technical trade-offs inherent in building a global-scale product platform.
