The Stripe Issuing team enables users to build and launch successful card programs and financial features into their product using powerful programmatic APIs. The team creates the infrastructure, user facing experiences, and partner integrations needed to manage the lifecycle of a card and enable efficient money movement. This is a great opportunity to help build one of Stripe’s fastest growing businesses. Our top users span fintechs to large enterprises & cover a range of verticals including Buy Now Pay Later, vertical SaaS platforms, on-demand marketplaces, expense management platforms, fleet, travel & more.
As an Engineering Manager on this team, you'll lead engineers who operate at the critical intersection of high-availability distributed systems and financial infrastructure — where uptime is measured to four nines, authorization decisions must happen in seconds, and every request directly impacts the businesses and cardholders who depend on Stripe every day. At the heart of Issuing is the real-time authorization flow — the core moment when a cardholder swipes, taps, or enters their card details and Stripe decides whether to approve or decline the transaction. This team manages direct integrations with card networks, handles the full transaction lifecycle from authorization through clearing and settlement, and builds the features — spending controls, real-time webhooks, digital wallet provisioning — that give users programmatic control over every transaction.
