Engineering Manager, Agentic Commerce

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.

About the Team

Agentic payments is a team that’s building new APIs and integration experiences for agentic commerce online. We think that the proliferation of consumer‑facing AI experiences will unlock new ways that consumers buy things online, and our existing payments experiences need to evolve to new commercial models that cutting‑edge builders are starting. Our first launch, Instant Checkout in collaboration with OpenAI, took the industry by storm and we’re bringing experiences like that to the entire universe of AI agents and sellers.

What you’ll do

As an Engineering Manager on Agentic Commerce, you’ll own the shaping and delivery of transformative products that redefine how commerce works, making it more fluid, automated, and aligned with user intent. You’ll collaborate closely with product management, design, data science, and marketing to unlock new opportunities for our customers and partners globally. Our north star provides a new integration model for AI agents who are looking to build agent‑powered online commerce experiences via their Stripe integration. They will have access to our entire suite of connected sellers, and can focus on the end‑user experience. Enabling an AI agent to do this requires new API primitives, new dashboard surfaces, and deep thought about what financial and e‑commerce complexity Stripe can simplify on their behalf.

In‑office expectations

Office‑assigned. Stripes in most locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team, and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico; Bengaluru, India; and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Some teams have greater in‑office attendance requirements to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach balances in‑person collaboration and learning with flexibility when possible.
