Desirable

• In this role, you’ll be on the Developer Platform product management team, and work across both the API Platform and Developer User Experience engineering teams
• API Platform is responsible for Stripe’s API infrastructure, including the backend service that powers Stripe’s events and webhooks product experience
• You’ll also work closely with the Developer User Experience team to ship the right product experiences across our Developer Dashboard, CLI, SDKs, and Visual Studio Extension
• In short, you’ll own both the backend and frontend product requirements
• In this role, you’ll be the product manager of tools and technologies that communicate between Stripe and a user’s infrastructure
• For example, you’ll set the standard for the platform-wide design of the event payload, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end webhooks user experience – critical to the asynchronous nature of many of our most important APIs –, and you’ll partner with the IAM team to ensure security history events are delivered to our users’ SIEM systems for further analysis
• You’ll also work on our new remote function extensibility primitive, which allows third-party developers to call APIs from their Stripe Apps; this is the underlying functionality that is enabling Stripe to call out to 3rd-party tax providers, such as Avalara
• Stripe aims to deliver the best experience for developers in the industry
• There are a million features we could build, but as a Stripe platform product manager, you’ll be responsible for answering what we should build
• You’ll meet with both developers and internal Stripe teams to understand their needs and shape your product perspective
• In partnership with engineering, you’ll coauthor the product strategy and roadmap, with the goal of each new release making a measurable impact on the business
• You’ll also define product requirements and -- most importantly -- ship new features to market
• Partner with the engineering team to ship functionality that delights users, has the right balance of impact vs engineering cost, and makes a measurable impact on the business
• Interact with internal product teams and customers daily and translate their needs into product requirements
• Develop the vision, strategy, and roadmap for future investments
• Define key success metrics for webhooks and events
• Work closely with user researchers to test hypotheses and understand developer pain points
• Validate product ideas and prototypes with early adopters
• Work closely with developer relations & developer marketing to launch new features and drive product awareness and adoption
