What you’ll do

We’re looking for an engineering manager to hire and lead a new engineering team, build relationships with customers internally and externally, and champion our vision of building the best platform for internet commerce. 

Projects your team may work on:

• Defining the technical vision and architecture for Stripe’s support products and systems.
   
• Building engaging, responsive user interfaces that make it truly enjoyable to get help from Stripe. For example, we used React to build a chat UI from the ground up so that it would feel at home in the Stripe Dashboard. 
   
• Scaling the contact platform that connects Stripe users with the teams that are best equipped to help them. This might involve implementing new API endpoints for use across multiple products, iterating on data pipelines to maximize visibility into our support operations, or adding to our billing pipeline so that we can offer paid support plans in new regions. 
   
• Improving the internal tools that empower our user-facing teams to build new case-solving workflows, publish dynamic, localized content to our user-facing support site, and answer every support request with the right context for any user.
   

Responsibilities

• Hire, lead, and manage a team of talented engineers on the team, providing mentorship, guidance, and support to ensure their success.
   
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, including product managers and designers, to understand customer needs and translate them into technical solutions.
   
• Define the technical vision and roadmap for the suite of products managed by the team, aligning it with business objectives and industry best practices.
   
• Drive the execution of projects, overseeing the entire development lifecycle from planning to delivery, while maintaining high standards of quality and timely completion.
   
• Foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment, promoting innovation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement within the team.
   
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies, industry trends, and advancements in observability practices to identify opportunities for improvement and innovation.
   
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders, providing regular updates on project status, progress, and any potential risks or challenges.
