What you’ll do
You’ll set engineering direction in partnership with Product and Design and develop the team delivering it. The role combines improving activation today with shaping how onboarding works for people and AI agents.
You’ll use strong product judgment to decide where to experiment, where to build reusable foundations, and how to measure progress through faster activation, fewer repeated steps, and reliable outcomes. You’ll work across Stripe to align teams and resolve dependencies, while coaching engineers and giving them meaningful ownership.

- Uphold high engineering standards across the team’s codebases and development practices.
- Turn ambiguous goals into focused plans, resolve dependencies, and balance new capabilities with operational health.
- Coach and mentor engineers, provide candid feedback, and support career development tailored to their goals.
- Partner with Recruiting to hire engineers and build a diverse, high-performing team.
