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

The Mobile Development Productivity team makes building, testing, and releasing Stripe’s mobile applications and device-integrated software fast, reliable, and secure. The team owns the mobile development platform end to end, including development environments, simulators and emulators, continuous integration, automated testing, builds, and releases. We support engineers working across iOS, Android, React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform, mobile SDKs, and device-integrated software.

Our customers include engineers working on Stripe Dashboard Mobile, Link, Stripe’s mobile SDKs, and Terminal. We enable mobile engineers to use AI agents throughout the development process, including writing code, running tests, and validating changes across mobile platforms. Our work reduces manual release effort, improves test coverage, and makes mobile development faster and more reliable.

What you’ll do

You will lead the Mobile Development Productivity engineering team and set the technical strategy for the platform Stripe engineers use to build mobile applications and device-integrated software. You will work with engineers and leaders across mobile product and infrastructure teams to identify shared development challenges, align priorities, and translate a long-term technical vision into focused plans for your team.

You will grow and support a team that builds development environments, continuous integration systems, test infrastructure, and secure build and release workflows. You will also guide the team’s work to make AI agents effective participants in mobile development by giving them realistic environments, tools, and feedback for validating changes across mobile platforms.

  • Establish high standards for reliability, security, engineering craft, and operational rigor across the systems the team owns
  • Improve the experience of mobile engineers and AI agents by using measures of developer productivity, build and test performance, and release health to guide investments
  • Work effectively with geographically distributed colleagues to maintain alignment, visibility, and clear ownership across teams

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location 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 live or plan to live.

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.
