Summary

Product Manager architecting unified control planes for Stripe's commerce systems, harmonizing billing, seller systems, and financial data to reduce integration friction and accelerate product launches. Requires 7+ years PM experience with backend systems and platform building.

About the role

What you’ll do

As the PM for Commerce Systems, you will be the architect of the 'engine room' of Stripe’s revenue. You will be responsible for building the unified control planes that harmonize Stripe’s internal billing, seller systems, and financial data warehouses into a single, high-leverage interaction surface. In this role, your mission is to eliminate integration friction for internal product teams, allowing them to ship faster, while ensuring our merchants receive the world-class fee transparency and reconciliation tools they need to run their businesses.

Responsibilities

  • Harmonize Infrastructure: Build the "control planes" that unify seller systems, user billing, and financial data warehouses to reduce integration friction for product teams.
  • Architect for Velocity: Drastically reduce the time-to-market for new Stripe products by streamlining monetization workflows and core underlying capabilities.
  • Drive Strategy: Articulate the product vision for our revenue platform, developing annual and quarterly plans that align with Stripe’s rapid expansion into AI and new financial services.
  • Navigate Complexity: Act as a leader and change agent, thriving in "chaos" to turn operational noise into a clear engineering roadmap.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with engineering leaders to design ingestion, enrichment, and serving interfaces while acting as a thought partner for GTM, Finance, and Legal.

Who you are

Minimum requirements

  • 7+ years of experience as a Product Manager in technology companies.
  • Backend Foundation: Deep experience with large-scale backend systems and an API-first mindset.
  • Platform Expertise: Proven track record building platform infrastructure that serves the needs of multiple disparate stakeholders.
  • Communication: Ability to synthesize complex technical discussions and write succinctly for senior leadership. The ability to work cross functionally and speak multiple ‘languages’: you’re equally credible as a thought partner for Go-to-Market, Engineering, Finance or Legal leaders.
  • Operational Resilience: Comfort dealing with many moving pieces and evolving legacy systems into their next generation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Fintech or at a Hyperscaler Cloud Infra provider (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Experience managing technical software products from infancy to scale.
  • A background in designing and building multi-product platforms or complex billing systems.
