Engineering Manager, Connect

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

Connect is Stripe's leading product for marketplaces, on-demand services, e-commerce site builders, invoicing platforms, professional SaaS products, fundraising platforms, rental management platforms, and more. By utilizing the power of Connect, users in each of these categories can link multiple parties for the exchange of goods or services. These users rely on Connect for the crucial function of reliably routing payments between these parties. By powering fast, flexible, compliant, and cost-efficient routing of payments on the internet, Connect not only spurs the creation of innovative business models, but it also enables organizations (whether they are businesses, nonprofits, or governmental agencies) to channel previously-offline payments to the internet.

This team delivers the primary dashboard experience for Connect platforms - the surface through which platforms understand, manage, and grow their business on Stripe. The work spans analytics and insights, platform onboarding, connected account management, and the systems that enable other Stripe teams to build high-quality experiences for platform users. You'll lead a distributed full-stack engineering team working across APIs, frontend surfaces, and data pipelines that directly impact platform satisfaction and retention.
