Stripe Hiring For Head of Engineering, Frontend Platform and Experience at San Francisco, CA Full Time

Stripe is one of the fastest growing technology companies in the world, and we’re scaling in every dimension: users, revenue, people, technology, processes, and more. That includes our mobile strategy. Stripe Experience Platform owns the Stripe Dashboard (dashboard.stripe.com), building and defining the systems, platforms, and core experiences for frontend engineering at Stripe. We have an ambitious vision for the Stripe UI, and we need great technical leaders to help shape and realize that future.

We’re looking for a uniquely skilled and experienced technical leader and manager of managers to grow teams within the Stripe Experience Platform organization, operating with the technical acumen and taste to drive strong platform and product decisions for Stripe’s UI. In this role you’ll help shape the roadmap for the Stripe Dashboard and its reusable components and architecture, lead and grow strong teams of engineers led by talented engineering managers that you’ll recruit and mentor, build relationships with customers internally and externally, collaborate closely with your product management and design lead counterparts, and champion our vision of delivering the best SaaS platform for customers to manage their Internet commerce. Stripe Experience Platform is a unique environment where you’ll be working across all of Stripe’s products, working closely with our platform and design systems teams, guiding the future of Stripe’s frontend strategy through direct, personal influence, building both vertical product teams and horizontal platform teams, and working with world class engineers.

You will:

• Shape the future of frontend engineering at Stripe
• Recruit, hire, scale, and develop teams of world-class engineers
• Be actively involved in strategic direction and product decisions that impact all of Stripe and Stripe customers
• Drive the iteration on features, tooling, and processes as we launch advancements in our mobile products and platform
• Contribute to the design, building, and maintenance of APIs, user-facing experiences, services, and systems
• Drive Operational Excellence across your team’s services

You may be a fit for this role if you’ve built diverse teams to tackle challenging technical problems and:

• Have at least 7+ years of engineering management experience in mobile development and 10 years of overall software development experience
• Think of yourself as entrepreneurial and enjoy moving quickly on new initiatives
• Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts

Projects your teams may work on:

• Collaborating with Dashboard architecture and teams like Design Systems to map overall front end initiatives to a reliable and performant component library
• Creating higher-value surfaces (ex. the Dashboard homepage) in Stripe’s existing UI
• Driving the definition and implementation of reusable architecture and programming model that aligns with capabilities across our other user-facing surfaces: mobile, web, docs, and CLI’s
• Drive backend architectural advancement for frontend systems, including service-oriented architecture
• Support the security, reliability, performance, and multi-region work of the Stripe Dashboard

What’s it like to work at Stripe?

Stripe is helping the internet fulfill its potential as a platform for economic progress by building software tools that accelerate global economic access and technological development. Stripe makes it easy to start, run, and scale an internet business from anywhere in the world.

We look at Stripe as a constant work in progress and the same is true of our people; for all of us, we believe the best is yet to come. We’re here to support each other in our curiosity and creativity – which we pursue through thoughtful discussion and knowledge-sharing among a diverse set of peers and colleagues.

We want to work in a company of warm, inclusive people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. The kind of people who are committed to going out of their way to help other Stripes in the short-term and pushing them to improve over the long-term (by helping them to get better at what they do).

We’re a highly cross-functional organization and view that as part of the fun: we design our space to encourage as much collaboration as possible. We have long tables in the kitchen for a reason (to enable everyone to meet new people and learn from them). We also have a culture of transparency that we carry through to email communication, ensuring that Stripes all around the world have the information they need to make good local decisions.

In both our products and our people, we aim to reflect, represent and advocate for all of our users, globally. Our users transcend geography, culture and language; what we share, collectively, is a drive to create a fairer, more economically interconnected world.
