Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in product management, shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on
- Background in security, identity, auth, or developer platforms, or serious curiosity about the space
- A habit of talking to users to find the real problem, not the reported one
- Technical fluency to go deep with engineers on authorization and authentication design
- A bias toward experimentation over big-bang launches
- Comfort setting direction in a space that's still being invented, across teams you don't manage
- You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description
What the job involves
- You'll set the vision and drive the roadmap for how every principal, human, agent, or app, gets access to a Stripe account
- You'll do it by talking directly to the founders, admins, and developers who use it
- Design the experience of granting access, everywhere. Signing up, inviting a teammate, creating an API key, authorizing an agent or a third-party app
- Make agents a first-class citizen. Define how agents authenticate, what they're allowed to do, and how businesses stay in control, including approvals and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for the actions that matter most. You're defining an experience that will set the industry standard
- Drive least privilege, made easy. Build custom roles, smart permission defaults, and usage-based recommendations that make the secure choice the obvious one instead of the tedious one
- Push toward a world without secrets. Make secretless authentication (Workload Identity Federation) the default way developers integrate with Stripe, eliminating API key leaks as a category of risk rather than reducing their blast radius
- Partner across nearly all of Stripe. Pitch an ambitious vision, then get teams across Dashboard, API Platform, Security, Payments and Money Movement genuinely excited to build it with you, even though none of them report to you
- Ship, learn, and iterate: Run experiments, follow real usage, and adjust quickly rather than waiting for the perfect plan
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 payment 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 extending its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil, Japan and India. It is also partnering with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that is monetising OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhancing Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forward with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."
