Engineering Manager, Agentic Commerce at Stripe

This role is designed for a veteran engineering leader who thrives in high-stakes "0-to-1" environments. The ideal candidate has over 10 years of experience, a strong technical background in full-stack systems, and a proven track record of managing senior and staff-level engineers. You should be someone who enjoys the intersection of commerce and AI, specifically building the API primitives and infrastructure that allow AI agents to handle transactions and financial complexity. You will join a high-impact team that recently launched "Instant Checkout" with OpenAI. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of "Agentic Commerce"—redefining how AI interactions translate into real-world payments. While the role is based on-site in New York City, it offers the chance to lead a fundamental shift in Stripe’s product strategy, working closely with enterprise users and cross-functional leadership to build enterprise-grade systems from the ground up. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have at least 5 years of experience in engineering management and a history of scaling products in the e-commerce or fintech space. * Are "AI-native" and comfortable leveraging agentic AI tools to solve complex engineering problems autonomously. * Enjoy building highly reliable APIs and have the "founder" mindset required to take a project from concept to global scale. * Excel at navigating ambiguity and can translate first-principle thinking into a structured technical roadmap.
