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.
Testability has long been a priority for Stripe. Before users trust code with their money, they need to verify that it’s safe and correct. This need drove Stripe to build test mode and, more recently, Sandboxes, which enables safe, isolated, and scalable testing.
As businesses build with AI and agents, their testing needs are evolving. Stripe customers use claimable sandboxes to add Stripe capabilities to prototypes before business registration. Once onboarded, they provision isolated test environments to support agents’ exploration. These capabilities help developers and agents build and test their integrations with Stripe.
The Sandboxes team defines, builds, and operates these testing capabilities. We work across Stripe to make our products testable, helping businesses develop with confidence and shaping the future of Stripe’s developer platform.
You’ll lead and grow the Sandboxes engineering team, setting technical direction and operating critical systems. You’ll build a culture of operational excellence and thoughtful product development.
You’ll work directly with users to understand their needs and partner with Product, Design, and Data Science to shape and deliver the team’s strategy. The role combines building reusable testing capabilities across Stripe with attention to the details that make developer tools effective and easy to use.
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, we encourage you to apply.
