About the team

The AI team is focused on one of Stripe’s most strategic growth areas: enabling the monetization and scaling of AI-native and AI-enabled businesses. We’re in a unique position – partnering with the world’s most ambitious AI companies (the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, etc) building on the frontier of artificial intelligence -- across infrastructure, foundation models, agents, and applications -- to help them grow and commercialize globally using Stripe’s full financial stack.

You’ll shape Stripe’s narrative in this fast-evolving industry, guide complex technical sales, and partner deeply with Product to influence Stripe’s roadmap for AI users.
