Engineering Manager, Money as a Service (MaaS)

• 3+ years of engineering management experience and 8+ years of software engineering experience
• Experience taking a product or team from zero to one: a new market, a new product line, or a team you built and scaled
• A track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers and building a high-performing, inclusive team
• Strong technical depth to engage credibly on architecture, reliability, and tradeoffs in complex distributed systems
• Strong product judgment and the ability to translate user and market needs into engineering priorities
• Excellent written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior stakeholders across time zones

• Experience in payments, banking, or money movement, especially launching regulated financial products (accounts, payouts, cards, or lending) in new markets
• Experience operating in APAC markets, including working with local banks, networks, or regulators
• Founder, founding engineer, or early-stage startup experience
• Experience working with distributed partner teams across US, European, and APAC time zones
• Experience using AI tools to improve execution, quality, and team effectiveness

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.

• Lead multiple pods and grow the team.
• Be accountable for the team's output: what ships, when, and how well it works for users.
• Own the engineering side of a zero-to-one charter. Turn an ambiguous regional strategy into a sequenced, de-risked roadmap, make the build, integrate, or partner calls, and get launches over the line across licensing, bank and network partners, and compliance.
• Operate as a peer owner of the business outcome alongside product, go-to-market, legal, compliance, and partnerships. Bring a product point of view, and push back when the plan is wrong.
• Stay hands-on and in the details: read the code, review designs, use the product the way our users do, and understand how Stripe's money movement stack works end to end so you can make sound technical calls under uncertainty.
• Build the operating system for a newly formed team: hiring, rituals, quality bar, on-call, and the processes that let the team move fast while keeping money movement safe and reliable.
• Hire great engineers, develop them, and give direct, timely feedback.

We're looking for someone with a founder's mindset: high agency, comfortable with ambiguity, and biased toward shipping. You've built something from nothing, you know what it takes to launch a product in a new market, and you don't wait for a perfect spec or for permission. You care about users and the product as much as about the code, and you'd rather own an outcome than a process. Applicants must meet minimum requirements; preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a bar.
