About the role

Who we are
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

The Billing Foundations team builds the core infrastructure and data foundations that power Stripe Billing and support products across Stripe’s revenue and finance suite, including Tax. We build the shared systems that help these products scale, from real-time infrastructure for usage-based billing to customer balance management.

Our product is the infrastructure itself: the building blocks that product teams depend on to deliver reliable experiences for businesses. As usage-based business models evolve, including those powering AI products and agents, we’re solving technical challenges around scale, low latency, and strong system guarantees.

Product management on this team combines long-term technical strategy with a deep understanding of internal users’ needs. You’ll work closely with principal engineers and product teams across Stripe to shape shared infrastructure, make thoughtful platform tradeoffs, and build foundations that support the next generation of billing products.

What you’ll do
You will work with engineering leadership to set a long-term vision for how our product infrastructure best supports the agent-led workflows of the next million Stripe Billing customers. Because our users are engineers and their agents, your deep technical product understanding is uniquely important to ensure successful onboarding, retention, and growth of our customer base.
Additionally, you are the steward for the technical and security aspects of our entire revenue and finance suite. You will ensure that our product is the fastest, most secure, and most reliable monetization infrastructure on the planet.

Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution: identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to detailed requirements, data analysis, and delivery

Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams, with the ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments
