## Who we are

### About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. 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 Terminal helps businesses extend their online presence into the physical world. Our mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as Stripe has made it to accept payments online. We’re realizing the vision of unified commerce. Terminal provides an integrated in-person payments platform spanning software, payment processing, device fleet management, and hardware. Our hardware portfolio includes Stripe-designed readers and accessories as well as devices from third-party hardware partners. Together, these products enable businesses to build reliable, differentiated in-person payment experiences across a broad range of use cases, countries, and operating environments.

## What you’ll do

As a Terminal TPM, you will become an expert on all things related to in-person payments. You’ll work with teams across Stripe to build, ship, and iterate on first-party as well as third-party hardware products in addition to advancing our work on Tap-to-Pay and beyond. You will partner closely with hardware engineering, firmware and software engineering, design, operations, logistics, partnerships, sales, finance, legal, and regional teams. Your work will require you to be in lock-step with Payments teams as well as card networks and Local Payment Method schemes, bringing unified commerce to life across our suite of devices. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who can connect customer needs, technical constraints, business strategy, and execution across user experience, device capabilities, cost, quality, reliability, supply, and time to market.

### Responsibilities

* Develop a strong point of view on Terminal’s product development strategy and use it to define programs with measurable outcomes, adapting them as the product and user needs evolve
* Understand the technical challenges across Terminal’s systems, payment flows, identity infrastructure, fraud and risk models, money movement, and partner closely with engineering leads to define the most effective path to delivery
