Self‑serve Direct Onboarding accelerates how quickly businesses can start using Stripe, boosting activation speed, trust, and supporting Stripe’s mission to increase the internet’s GDP.
A senior engineering leader who thrives on shaping strategy, guiding architecture across UI, APIs and backend, mentoring engineers, and collaborating with cross‑functional partners.
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.
Self Serve Direct Onboarding helps businesses start using Stripe’s products quickly and confidently. The team builds self-service experiences that guide users through providing business information and completing required checks. We turn complex financial, regulatory, and verification requirements into clear steps, shaping both how quickly businesses can get started and the trust they place in Stripe.
At the heart of this work is a shared product activation experience: a consistent way for businesses to start using new financial capabilities as they grow. This foundation helps users avoid repeating information and makes it simpler for product teams to integrate onboarding into their offerings.
AI creates an opportunity to rethink how businesses get started on Stripe. The team is designing onboarding journeys for users who interact directly through a user interface, work with AI agents, or delegate onboarding to agents entirely. We’re improving today’s experience while building the foundations for agent-led onboarding.
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.
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.
