What you’ll do

We’re looking for a seasoned technical leader to drive the technical direction and strategy for User Billing experiences, including user-facing products and features such as our reporting surfaces, APIs and platforms for internal users and teams, backend systems, and data pipelines. As a staff engineer in User Billing, you’ll work with engineering managers, senior engineers, and cross-functional partners to design the technical underpinnings of the product. At the same time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to be hands-on building key systems, and will be directly responsible for the successful delivery of large-scale technical efforts as well acting as a technical mentor and leader for other engineers.

User Billing is an engine powering many of Stripe’s biggest bets, from shipping new products faster to redefining our commercial strategy. The right technical leadership will allow us to scale faster and more reliably as our business accelerates. If that sounds exciting, we’d love to speak with you.

Responsibilities

• Ensure our platform solutions and user billing data are high quality, meet the needs of our internal users, and position us to meet Stripe’s growth
   
• Ensure User Billing products built on top of the platforms are high quality, meet the needs of our external users, and position us to meet the business goals
   
• Drive interoperability across platforms in User Billing and integrations across Stripe with product, accounting, sales, finance, and data science teams
   
• Scrutinize billing interfaces and data models, elevating our focus on correctness and ease of use within User Billing
   
• Help drive sound technical decision making within User Billing and lead technical conversations between User Billing and other teams across Stripe
