Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

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 Collaboration team helps Stripe employees work smarter, find information, share knowledge, get to know each other, and request and receive help from one another.
Many of our solutions are integrated into Stripe Home, our custom-built intranet (read more about it here: (https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-home). 

The team is very nimble and works across a wide stack: on any given day, we discuss user interface design, data models, API design, infrastructure maintenance, search relevance/GenAI, or all of the above. We're excited to innovate in a space not traditionally thought of as being at the forefront of innovation.

As a team that builds critical, company-wide tools, we prioritize projects with the highest leverage. This involves extensive cross-functional collaboration, partnering with groups ranging from engineering to HR to top management. One of the greatest rewards is seeing the direct impact our work has on our users: our fellow Stripe employees.

What you’ll do

As an engineering manager on Stripe’s Collaboration team, you will be a key member of a team that acts as a force multiplier on the internal tools that Stripe uses. You will focus on building innovative GenAI-powered experiences that help Stripe employees be more productive across various tasks and activities. You will build these experiences by collaborating with multiple teams across Stripe and experimenting with different ideas and the newest technologies.

This is a new team being staffed out of Dublin, and aligned with an existing peer US team. Over time, it will own tools, products, and services end-to-end, as well as platform pieces that the broader Collaboration team builds and maintains.

Responsibilities

• Recruit top engineering talent in partnership with Stripe’s recruiting team to build a diverse and high-performing team
• Scale the team up from zero, and work with US-based teams to align charter and ownership, and take over more domains as the team scales
• Build full-stack solutions across variety of Stripe's internal tools, including delightful web applications, Chrome extensions, GenAI-powered features, and integrations with other internal tools and platforms
• Engage directly with users to understand their business needs and translate requirements into concrete solutions
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver these solutions
• Push our vision for the internal tools space to be the best-in-the-industry powered by the latest technologies and convert it to real productivity gains for Stripe employees
• Lead engineering and design processes, and coaching, mentoring, and supporting your team as they build innovative, user-facing solutions
