Engineering Manager, Webhooks & Events

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

When something interesting happens on Stripe, like a new subscription being created, or a payment being successfully processed, we programmatically notify our users using Webhooks. In the asynchronous world of financial infrastructure, these events are a mission critical part of our merchant’s businesses.

As part of the API Events team, you will work closely with partners in product and infrastructure to deliver a world class product experience to our merchants. We are dreaming up new ways of letting our users extend Stripe in a secure and reliable way, and we want your help delivering this platform to fit the evolving needs of our users.

  • Be actively involved in strategic direction and product decisions
  • Manage a team of senior engineers and help develop their careers with stretch responsibilities and excellent feedback
  • Set and execute a vision that extends the possibilities of what our users can do on and off of Stripe
  • Work with engineering leaders in your org and across Stripe to build scalable and automated systems and make the right foundational investments
  • Empower your engineering team to deliver a high level of technical quality and impact
  • Recruit a diverse team of engineers that are amongst the best in the industry, from outreach to closing
  • 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. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

  • Minimum 2 years of direct Engineering Management experience
  • Have experience hiring, growing, and developing engineers
  • Lead by example in fast-paced, high-impact, ambiguous environments
  • Have experience building scalable software and backend systems
  • Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
  • Thrive in a collaborative cross-functional environment and fostering a great culture within a team
  • Excellent verbal and written communication

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience building systems to deliver Webhooks
  • Experience across a variety of infrastructure systems like distributed databases, service frameworks, async processing services etc

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 $203,900 - $305,900. 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.
