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.
IAM is the nerve center of Stripe. We control how millions of businesses grant access to their account, including employees, AI agents, apps, and API integrations, across the Dashboard, API, CLI, and MCP. We're also a platform team, building the unified, fine-grained permissions model that every product at Stripe builds on.
AI agents are changing how businesses operate, and how they get authorized, governed, and secured is being defined right now—largely by us. We’re tackling challenging and unsolved problems for real businesses, like how to model agents when they blur the line between acting on behalf of a human vs. standalone principals, or how to authorize entire agent workflows rather than step-by-step actions. We’re collaborating directly with the frontier AI labs on the evolution of MCP, new identity protocols, and agent integrations. We build for solo founders and Fortune 500s alike, and the tension between those two is where the real product work lives.
You'll set the vision and drive the roadmap for how every principal, human, agent, or app, gets access to a Stripe account. You'll do it by talking directly to the founders, admins, and developers who use it.
The hardest part of this job, and the most fun, is the constant trade-off: usability vs. security, flexibility vs. simplicity. It takes taste to find a shape that feels effortless for a solo founder and holds up at Fortune 500 scale.
