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

Sail Core builds Stripe's frontend platform: the data layer, navigation, observability, and developer tooling that 50+ product teams use to ship web applications — the Dashboard being the largest. We are responsible for enabling a stellar developer experience for frontend engineers at Stripe. We're hiring a deeply technical product manager to own the platform strategy, drive cross-company modernization initiatives, and set the standard for frontend excellence at Stripe.

What you'll do

How should a platform team decide what to build when 50 teams depend on you and each one thinks their request is the most urgent? When do you invest in long-term architectural health versus shipping the migration that unblocks next quarter's goal? How do you make 9,000 files at initialization become a fast, traceable, joyful developer experience — without breaking production for millions of merchants along the way?

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for Stripe's frontend platform
• Drive the largest frontend modernization initiative at Stripe while holding the line on architectural quality
• Redefine how frontend development can be achieved with agentic tooling
• Define and track key metrics such as latency, build times, and reliability SLOs to make difficult trade-off decisions
• Be the product voice in deeply technical decisions such as API surface design, framework deprecation sequencing, extraction boundaries, and migration tooling

Who you are

You think in systems, not features. You go deep on architecture, you don’t delegate to engineering. You're the person who reads the RFC before the meeting, asks why the error response looks like that, and frames migrations in terms of user outcomes, not just engineering milestones. You treat developer experience as part of the product, not a byproduct.

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

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years on platform, infrastructure, or developer tools teams
• Strong technical fluency in frontend web development — you can discuss JavaScript/TypeScript, React component models, build systems, and performance optimization with depth
• Experience driving large-scale migrations or platform transitions across multiple teams, including the sequencing, dependency management, and stakeholder alignment that make them succeed
• Demonstrated use of quantitative metrics to drive platform investment decisions — you've defined the metrics, not just tracked them
• Track record of partnering with engineering to make architectural trade-offs grounded in user impact

Preferred qualifications

• Engineering background — you've written frontend code professionally and it still shapes how you think about product decisions
• Have led or significantly contributed to a legacy extraction or monolith decomposition effort and understand viscerally why they're hard and where they get stuck
• Believe that fast software is the best software
• Naturally default to the platform solution over the one-off fix, but know when speed demands the opposite
• Can explain what a cascading re‑render is, why it matters, and what to do about it — to an engineer, a designer, and a VP, in three different ways

Remote / Work location policy

Office‑assigned employees in most locations are expected to spend at least 50% of the time in the local office or with users. This may vary by role, team, and location. Some teams have greater in‑office attendance requirements; the hiring manager will discuss. This approach balances collaboration and flexibility.

Salary and benefits

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is CA$151,200 – CA$226,800. This range may change for other locations. Specific benefits and details about compensation included in the salary range will vary by location and can be discussed during the interview process. Benefits may include equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
