Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About the team

Agentic payments is a team that’s building new APIs and integration experiences for agentic commerce online. We think that the proliferation of consumer-facing AI experiences will unlock new ways that consumers buy things online, and our existing payments experiences need to evolve to new commercial models that cutting-edge builders are starting. Our first launch, Instant Checkout in collaboration with OpenAI, took the industry by storm and we’re bringing experiences like that to the entire universe of AI agents and sellers.

What you’ll do

As an Engineering Manager on Agentic Commerce, you’ll own the shaping and delivery of transformative products that redefine how commerce works, making it more fluid, automated, and aligned with user intent. You’ll collaborate closely with product management, design, data science, and marketing to unlock new opportunities for our customers and partners globally.

Our north star provides a new integration model for AI agents who are looking to build agent-powered online commerce experiences, via their Stripe integration. They will have access to our entire suite of connected sellers, and can focus on the end-user experience. Enabling an AI agent to do this requires new API primitives, new dashboard surfaces, and deep thought about what financial and e-commerce complexity Stripe can simplify on their behalf.

Partner deeply with product management and design to ship high impact features that increase user autonomy and reduce friction.
