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
The Payments Orchestration team is building the engine for Stripe’s multiprocessor future. Our mission is to provide businesses with a unified platform to process payments globally, offering unparalleled reliability, performance, and flexibility. We build and own the foundational infrastructure that abstracts away the complexity of the global payments ecosystem, including Stripe’s own payment processing and third-party processors alike. We also build a user-facing product that acts as an intelligent routing layer that sits on top of this infrastructure.
What you’ll do
You will lead Stripe Orchestration, a product at the heart of our long-term enterprise strategy. In this high-leverage technical role, you will take full end-to-end ownership of a nascent product, shaping its vision, architecture, and market entry. You will operate at a high pace to build infrastructure that powers the world’s most critical payment flows.
Responsibilities
- Define a multi-year vision for Orchestration that anticipates the next decade of user scale and complexity.
- Lead Engineering and Design through every phase of the product lifecycle, from 0-to-1 development to General Availability.

- Serve as the internal subject matter expert on the payment orchestration landscape, managing relationships with partners and ecosystem vendors.
