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

Credit Engineering focuses on increasing the GDP of the internet by managing credit risk with a users-first lens.  We aim to deeply understand the businesses running on Stripe, so that we can support their ability to use Stripe without interruptions despite our needs to safely reduce the likelihood of credit losses.  As part of the broader Risk Engineering org, we leverage and collaborate on scalable abstractions and platforms while focusing deeplying on applying them to the rich and nuanced domain of Credit Risk.  This specific team is focused on continuously improving our view into our users’ financial standing, so that Stripe is well-positioned to manage tail risks.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an engineering leader to build the team and drive the technical vision for managing credit risk – particularly tail risks.  You’ll build a team of backend and full stack engineers focused on balancing user experience with Stripe’s risk management needs.

Responsibilities

  • Work with a team of talented engineers and cross-functional stakeholders to design and deliver end-to-end solutions for credit problems
  • Drive the roadmap and goals of your team, partnering with cross-functional teams and other engineering teams
  • Recruit great engineers, in collaboration with the recruiting team
  • Develop engineers on the team, helping them grow and advance in their careers
  • Manage processes to enable your team to do their best work and interface effectively with the rest of Stripe
  • Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Stripe’s engineering management team

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.

Minimum Requirements

  • You have 10+ years of professional experience, and at least 3 years of engineering management experience, with a track record of leading high performing engineering teams
  • You have been responsible for delivering great products that work end-to-end and have managed both full stack and backend engineers
  • You enjoy working closely with customers
  • You work very well cross-functionally and are comfortable making hard decisions and trade-offs 
  • You have a strong technical sense and think rigorously about architecture and product decisions
  • You thrive on a high level of autonomy and responsibility
  • You have successfully recruited great people to your team
  • You enjoy developing and mentoring engineers and engineering leaders

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $224,300 - $336,500. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
