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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career. ### About the team Stripe's Infrastructure organization builds and operates the shared platforms that make it possible for engineering teams to build, deploy, run, and scale reliable products. The organization owns foundational capabilities across service networking and discovery, safe feature and configuration changes, data storage and orchestration, and batch computing. Our platforms support a global engineering audience and power systems at significant scale. This includes the control plane for secure service-to-service communication across tens of thousands of microservices, service and feature deployment infrastructure that helps teams introduce and recover from changes safely, infrastructure for running Stripe's containerized services, and data platforms for storage, pipeline orchestration, and large-scale processing. Our batch compute platforms support technologies including Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Celeborn. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead or strongly influence teams working on business-critical infrastructure with broad internal adoption. You will balance reliability, scalability, security, developer experience, and operational rigor while helping Stripe move quickly with confidence. You will partner closely with product, security, data, support, and adjacent infrastructure leaders to set direction, resolve cross-team dependencies, and turn recurring needs into durable platform capabilities. ### What you'll do As an Engineering Manager at Stripe, you will operate with full autonomy across a complex, high-impact area of our infrastructure. Your scope extends beyond a single team. You lead or strongly influence multiple engineering teams, execute parallel high-priority workstreams, and develop senior engineering talent. You set direction, align stakeholders, make decisions that hold up over time, and deliver results without close direction. ### Responsibilities - Lead with scope and autonomy by driving impact across multiple teams or a significant infrastructure area independently, translating organizational goals into concrete execution plans, and delivering results across parallel workstreams - Define strategy and roadmap for your area, anticipating internal user needs, technical challenges, reliability risks, and business priorities, then communicating a clear plan to your team and senior leadership - Develop senior talent by coaching senior engineers and emerging leaders, creating meaningful stretch opportunities, and giving candid feedback that improves individual and team performance - Drive cross-functional alignment with product, security, data, support, and adjacent engineering teams, resolving ambiguity at team boundaries and aligning stakeholders around shared priorities - Hire and scale the team by attracting, developing, and retaining senior engineering talent while maintaining a high hiring bar and building an inclusive, high-performing organization - Operate with rigor by setting high standards for reliability, availability, scalability, incident response, and engineering craft, and by addressing systemic issues that affect internal users across Stripe - Partner with Staff engineers on architecture decisions involving distributed systems, service discovery, configuration propagation, production change management, data processing, and internal platform design ### Who you are We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
