Job description

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 Billing organization at Stripe builds and operates Stripe Billing, a growing product vertical inside of Stripe. Hundreds of thousands of businesses of all sizes and types use Stripe Billing to collect revenue for recurring and one-time payments across a variety of different pricing models—from selling SaaS subscriptions, to orchestrating multi-stage contracts, delivering business analytics, and providing recovery and retention tools to prevent customer churn.

To support even the most unique and complex business models, our technology and products must be configurable and programmable. This requires our team to innovate in how we model different types of businesses, and how we use technology to enable customers to piece together Stripe’s Billing’s platform primitives into holistic solutions that support any type of business. Through this work, Stripe Billing allows worry-free innovation and evolution of any customer’s business model. Stripe is defining the industry’s approach to Billing solutions; we’re looking for innovators to join us.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team within the Stripe Billing organization. In this role, you will manage a high-performing team of engineers and partner closely with product managers and other cross-functional leaders to shape the team’s strategy and roadmap. You will excel in this role if you’re a product-focused engineering manager who can collaborate effectively across multiple teams and functions to deliver results. If you enjoy building and nurturing high-performing engineering teams, helping guide the direction of product development, and engaging directly with users of the platform, this will be a great opportunity for your career.

You will:

• Partner closely with engineering leaders, product managers, and designers to shape the team’s strategy and roadmap
  
• Demonstrate strong first principles thinking when approaching complex problems and system design
  
• Foster a healthy team culture with a high level of trust and psychological safety
  
• Define processes that enable the team do its best work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  
• Coach and mentor engineers on the team to help them advance in their careers and develop new skills
  
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Stripe’s engineering management team
  
• Work closely with Stripe’s recruiting team to hire strong engineering talent

• 5+ years of engineering management experience
  
• 8+ years of full time software development experience
  
• You have a consistent track record of hiring and leading productive engineering teams
  
• You’ve nurtured healthy work environments that are supportive, challenging, diverse and inclusive

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.

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is C$213,600 - C$320,400. This range may change if you are hired in another location. 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 specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
