Product Manager, API & job at Stripe

Whenever a user takes an action on Stripe, such as creating an invoice, an event is created. In many cases, developers need to listen for these events, so that their backend integration can run custom code, such as saving the customer information associated with the invoice to their database.

In this role, you’ll be the product manager of the asynchronous events product line and end-to-end webhooks user experience. You’ll also build the strategy, roadmap, and product requirements for new functionality, such as an API events audit log. Finally, you’ll partner with product managers and engineers to define the future of the Stripe API.

Stripe aims to deliver the best experience for developers in the industry. There are a million features we could build, but as a Stripe platform product manager, you’ll be responsible for answering what we should build. You’ll meet with both developers and internal Stripe teams to understand their needs and shape your product perspective. In partnership with engineering, you’ll coauthor the product strategy and roadmap, with the goal of each new release making a measurable impact on the business. You’ll also define product requirements and -- most importantly -- ship new features to market.

Experience with event-based architectures and technologies, such as Kafka, will be valuable in this role.

You will:

Partner with the engineering team to ship functionality that delights users, has the right balance of impact vs engineering cost, and makes a measurable impact on the business
Interact with internal product teams and customers daily and translate their needs into product requirements
Develop the vision, strategy, and roadmap for future investments
Define key success metrics for webhooks and events
Work closely with user researchers to test hypotheses and understand developer pain points
Validate product ideas and prototypes with early adopters
Work closely with developer relations & developer marketing to launch new features and drive product awareness and adoption

We’re looking for someone who has:

Both passion for and experience shipping tools for developers. For example, you’ve shipped CLIs, client libraries, APIs, and/or an IDE extension. Experience with event-based architectures and technologies, such as Kafka, is a big bonus.
5+ years of Product Management experience
Computer Science background or equivalent technical experience

Nice to haves:

You have strong written and verbal communication skills
You are a member of the developer community and have a strong understanding of developer needs
You’re very knowledgeable of the tools and processes development teams use to develop, build, and, test integrations
You’re enjoy using social media to interact directly with customers for feedback
You’ve founded a business / startup
Your hands are filthy. You only ship functionality after you’ve personally test driven it and made heavy edits to the documentation.

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.
