About The Team

Radar helps businesses prevent fraud and abuse without getting in the way of legitimate customers. We combine machine learning powered by Stripe’s global network with intuitive dashboard experiences and developer APIs, to give our users comprehensive controls and insights to protect their business against threats ranging from payment fraud and card testing to bot and free trial abuse.

About The Team

Radar helps businesses prevent fraud and abuse without getting in the way of legitimate customers. We combine machine learning powered by Stripe’s global network with intuitive dashboard experiences and developer APIs, to give our users comprehensive controls and insights to protect their business against threats ranging from payment fraud and card testing to bot and free trial abuse. Fraud doesn’t stand still, and it isn’t limited to checkout. As businesses launch new products and business models, attackers find new ways to exploit them. We obsess about understanding those attacks, identifying defenses that work, and making sophisticated fraud prevention simple for the businesses that depend on us to help them protect and grow their revenue with confidence.

What you’ll do

As a product manager on the Radar team, you’ll work directly with customers to understand the novel fraud and abuse attacks they face, identify the most important problems to solve, and turn those insights into product strategy and a roadmap. You’ll work at the intersection of customers, engineering, data science, design, and commercial teams to shape what we build and bring it to market. Your work will span the fraud and abuse detection and control capabilities at the heart of Radar and the user and developer experiences that put those capabilities into our customers’ hands. This role requires both urgency and taste. You’ll move quickly as threats evolve, without compromising on reliability, craft, or the details that make complex products feel beautifully simple.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of the fraud and abuse landscape.
• Investigate emerging attacks with customers, assess their financial and operational impact, and distinguish isolated incidents from opportunities to build broadly useful defenses.
• Translate findings into a product strategy and roadmap, prioritizing the defenses that deliver the greatest customer and business impact.
• Partner with engineering, data science, and design to explore signals, shape solutions, and rapidly turn effective defenses into scalable, reliable products.
• Set the pace for the team by scoping the product thoughtfully, prioritizing ruthlessly, and executing with high rigor.
• Work with sales, marketing, and customer-facing teams to validate demand, coordinate launches, and help customers adopt and maximize the value they get from new capabilities.
• Own product performance, user experience, and business metrics to guide iteration and communicate progress.

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

• 8+ years of Product Management experience
• Highly analytical, with a rigorous approach to quantitative and qualitative evidence. You’re comfortable digging into data, writing SQL when needed, and defining metrics that connect product decisions to user outcomes.
• Scrappy and resourceful, with experience taking products from zero to one. You find ways to test ideas quickly, learn from real users, and turn early solutions into products that scale.
• Strong commercial and business acumen. You understand how customer problems translate into willingness to pay, adoption, and durable business value.
• Proven cross-functional leadership, including experience partnering with B2B sales teams on customer discovery, product positioning, and adoption.
• Experience shipping Dashboard and API products, with empathy for both end users and developers and an understanding of their different workflows.
• Comfort with substantial ambiguity. You can set direction with incomplete information, make thoughtful trade-offs, and adapt as new evidence emerges.
• Technical fluency to go deep with engineering and data teams on complex systems, understand constraints, and evaluate alternative approaches.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for distilling complex customer problems into precise, actionable framing.
• An ownership mindset and a high bar for product quality. You do what it takes to solve user problems and care deeply about the details of the experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building fraud prevention, risk, security, or ML powered products.
• Experience developing machine learning powered products and evaluating trade-offs between detection effectiveness and customer friction.
• Experience building tools for fraud analysts or risk teams, or developer products that support real-time decisions.
• Software engineering, data science, or similar technical experience.

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $178,600 - $268,000. 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.
