Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of product management or product-focused founder experience
- Shipped user-facing or API products, built on complex technical systems running at scale
- Passion for helping founders build their businesses
- Persistence and a whatever-it-takes approach to ensure that your product is successful
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with a talent for precise articulations of customer problems
Desirable
- Founder background, or experience in a very early stage company environment
- Software engineering experience, a computer science or engineering degree, or similar technical experience
What the job involves
- As a product manager on the Atlas team, you’ll gain a deep understanding of what early stage founders need to get their company off the ground, identify the most important pain points to solve, set the product strategy, scope product features and technical infrastructure, collaborate with design, drive execution with engineering, craft product marketing, and plan for go-to-market.
- In short, your role is to ensure Atlas becomes more and more impactful for founders
- Deeply understand the needs of startup founders and learn how they use Atlas and other startup products
- Drive product development by setting the pace, prioritizing ruthlessly, and unblocking execution
- Craft product experiences that are both simple and powerful, with surprisingly great details
- Write our strategy and deliver business outcomes. You’ll think like an investor when it comes to allocating our small team and identifying market opportunities
- Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders, communicate progress with Stripe’s leadership team, and steer the broader organization to build for early stage startups
- Represent Atlas externally with founders, venture capitalists, accelerators, and partners
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.
