Who we are

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 Configuration team enables extensibility of all Billing concepts and owns the core infrastructure needed to manage configuration changes over time and custom billing logic use cases.

What you'll do

As the engineering manager for Billing Configuration, you’ll own the operational and technical direction of the platforms that let Stripe users and internal teams model, customize, and evolve how billing works. You’ll lead the team building the foundational configuration layer for Stripe Billing, enabling flexible products, pricing, eligibility, entitlements, and billing behavior. This team enables complex custom use cases and configuration changes over time. You’ll shape the team as it expands to support increasingly sophisticated use cases, working closely with internal and external customers to build reliable, extensible systems that make Stripe Billing adaptable to the real world.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team responsible for the core architecture needed to enable billing configuration complexity and extensibility
• Own the technical strategy and roadmap for billing configuration
• Drive operational excellence across billing infrastructure systems
• Hire and develop engineers as the team expands into new scope
• Partner with stakeholders across organizations to deliver billing solutions
• Work backwards from internal and external customer needs to define priorities and scope
• Define and uphold engineering standards across a team owning business-critical billing infrastructure

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

• 4+ years of engineering management experience, directly managing and growing teams of 5+ engineers focused on building and shipping products at scale
• 8+ years of full-time software development experience
• Track record of leading engineering teams responsible for high-traffic, low-latency, and extensible systems
• Deep user empathy with a history of working backwards from internal and external customer needs
• Proven ability to drive rigorous decision-making and build strong partnerships across teams
• Ability to handle ambiguity, creatively solve complex challenges, and execute on competing high-impact priorities
• Demonstrated focus on system reliability, operational health, and incident response

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building and leading distributed teams across multiple locations and time zones
• Track record of delivering shared infrastructure across multiple business units
• Background in billing, metering, or large-scale distributed systems

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

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.

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.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $236,000 - $354,000. 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.

We look forward to hearing from you.

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.
