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.
Connect is Stripe’s platform for businesses that serve other businesses. It gives platforms the infrastructure to represent the people and companies in their ecosystem, onboard and verify them, manage their accounts, accept payments, and pay them out - without building payments, compliance, or financial-services systems themselves. This is how businesses like Shopify can help entrepreneurs run and grow their businesses. It is also the kind of infrastructure that marketplaces such as DoorDash need to coordinate money movement across large networks of restaurants, merchants, and dashers.
Connect has impact across industries. Shopify uses Stripe to embed financial services for merchants; Lugg streamlines worker onboarding and offers instant payouts; DoorLoop reduces manual customer onboarding tasks by nearly 50% with Stripe; and Sharetribe helps entrepreneurs launch and run marketplaces on Stripe.
AI is accelerating the emergence of entirely new business models: global networks of creators and experts, AI-native marketplaces, and agent-driven products that change how people discover, buy, sell, and deliver services. These businesses are more dynamic than traditional platforms: participants may operate across borders, take on different roles, and need new ways to establish trust, access financial capabilities, and get paid.
The Connect Abstractions team owns the platform primitives that make these models possible. We are building the foundational abstractions for representing participants, onboarding them safely, configuring their capabilities, and managing their lifecycle on Stripe. Our work will determine how quickly the next generation of platforms can launch, how flexibly they can evolve, and how much of Stripe they can bring to the businesses and people they serve.
This is a chance to define a foundational product area at Stripe. You will turn a fast-changing set of user and product needs into durable platform primitives that work across products, industries, and geographies.
The role combines high-leverage strategy with hands-on product execution. You will work through ambiguous, consequential questions like: what should a platform be able to model? What should be simple by default but flexible when needed? How can Stripe make complex financial infrastructure feel effortless for a platform and its users?
The outcome of your work will compound. The abstractions you help create will be reused across Connect and Stripe, shaping what new products platforms can build and how quickly they can bring them to market.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Manager to build the platform experiences behind Connect's next generation of users. You will own critical product primitives that platforms, including the fastest-growing AI companies, use to onboard, configure, and manage their users on Stripe. You will turn a clear strategic direction into products that solve hard user problems today while creating a coherent, extensible foundation for business models that are still being invented.
This role is for someone who enjoys the depth of platform work but is uncompromising about product craft and solving real user needs - both the ones users have today and will have in the future. The work is not building infra for its own sake; you will build capabilities that help our users launch a new marketplace, enable a global network to pay its contributors, or give a business entirely new ways for their end users to earn.
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
