Who We Are
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies use Stripe to accept payments, grow revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Stripe's mission is to increase the GDP of the internet.
About the Product - Connect Platform
Connect is Stripe's platform for businesses that serve other businesses. It provides infrastructure to represent people and companies in an ecosystem, onboard and verify them, manage their accounts, accept payments, and pay them out without requiring platforms to build payments, compliance, or financial-services systems themselves.

The team is building foundational abstractions for new business models, including global networks, AI-native marketplaces, and agent-driven products.

- Work with users, Sales, Partnerships, and other Stripe teams to identify scalable platform capabilities.
- Lead cross-functional work from discovery through launch.
- Own outcomes including developer experience, platform adoption, user value, and business impact.
Requirements

- Strong analytical instincts and comfort defining measurement frameworks before launching products.
- Clear written communication and the ability to build alignment across functions and levels.
- Experience working on technically complex products such as APIs, developer tools, shared platform capabilities, or core product experiences.
- Ability to connect user problems, business opportunities, and product decisions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure.
- Experience productizing bespoke or custom solutions into broadly available platform capabilities.
