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. Stripe’s mission is to increase the GDP of the internet.

About the Team

The Billing Foundations team builds the core infrastructure and data foundations that power Stripe Billing and support products across Stripe’s revenue and finance suite, including Tax. The team builds shared systems that help these products scale, including real-time infrastructure for usage-based billing and customer balance management.

The product is the infrastructure itself: the building blocks that product teams depend on to deliver reliable experiences for businesses. As usage-based business models evolve, including those powering AI products and agents, the team solves technical challenges involving scale, low latency, and strong system guarantees.

Product management on this team combines long-term technical strategy with a deep understanding of internal users’ needs. The role involves working closely with principal engineers and product teams across Stripe to shape shared infrastructure, make platform tradeoffs, and build foundations that support the next generation of billing products.

What You’ll Do

You will work with engineering leadership to set a long-term vision for how product infrastructure can support the agent-led workflows of the next million Stripe Billing customers. Because the users are engineers and their agents, deep technical product understanding is important for successful onboarding, retention, and customer growth.

You will also steward the technical and security aspects of the entire revenue and finance suite, ensuring that the product is fast, secure, and reliable monetization infrastructure.

• 10+ years of product management experience, including experience owning and delivering complex products with substantial technical or domain depth.

• Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover underlying needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products, supported by an understanding of complex systems, data models, application programming interfaces (APIs), integrations, and technical tradeoffs.
• Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution, including identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to detailed requirements, data analysis, and delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams, with the ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments.
