Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in technical program/product management, software engineering, systems engineering or related discipline
- Consistent track record of shipping products with broad/global customer impact
- You have a track record of providing solid program management during all phases of software development from kick-off to ship, demonstrating critical thinking and thought leadership throughout
- You are not satisfied with just delivering programs on time—you are discerning about product/infrastructure architecture and can lead technical discussions
- Operate independently and lead efforts across multiple teams and functions, with stakeholders in different disciplines across time zones
- Ability to understand how functionality comes together (across products and platforms) to deliver value for users, and identify/mitigate delivery risks proactively
- Strong customer focus
- You have strong written and verbal communication skills
- Interpersonal skills to build relationships, and collaborate with diverse cross-functional teams
- Demonstrable experience with agile software development methodologies and productivity tools
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent in computer science, engineering or a related field
Desirable
- Experience in a global FinTech or payments organization of a global e-commerce company
What the job involves
- At Stripe, product development is an extremely collaborative effort between engineering, design, analytics, partnerships, legal, risk and go-to-market teams
- We are looking for a senior Technical Program Manager who’s passionate about solving problems in the complex payments landscape, not only serving our customers but also our financial partners and regulator stakeholders
- You will be joining a group of experienced Engineering, Product Management, Strategy, and Operations leaders who have a track record of successfully building large-scale business and products that are collectively impacting millions of users around the world
- As a TPM, you will play a key role leading complex programs across multiple engineering, product and cross-functional (finance, legal, compliance, risk, and other) teams spanning Stripe
- You will be an active contributor to the overall strategy of the program, drive technical decision making, and drive the execution of the program through all phases from planning to delivery
- You will have the opportunity to implement mechanisms that make your programs effective and scale them to edit Stripe-level processes
- Drive functional and technical delivery of key team and org-wide programs/initiatives
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design, scope, and shepherd features
- Create functional specs, project / release plans, and roadmaps
- Own and execute one or more software engineering programs simultaneously
- Help drive product decisions to align with program and sometimes higher company initiatives
- Help influence peers / managers and build consensus while dealing with ambiguity
- Guide and manage the usage of agile methodologies to simplify project delivery
Our take
Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.
More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.
To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."

Company values
- Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
- An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
- Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
- Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
