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.

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 do this by building two core components: a foundational, canonical data platform for all payment activity (the Payment Records Platform), and an intelligent routing layer that sits on top (Stripe Orchestration). This role is focused on the former: building the platform foundation to represent payment flows of all types.

As the Product Manager for the Payment Records Platform, you'll own the most fundamental data models at the heart of Stripe's payment processing. You will be responsible for the source of truth for every payment that moves through our multiprocessor ecosystem. This is a deeply technical, high-leverage role where you will build the infrastructure that powers dozens of other product teams at Stripe, from Orchestration and Reporting to Billing and Connect.

Define and execute the multi-year product strategy for Stripe's core payments data model, ensuring it can scale for the next decade of Stripe's growth.

Own the product lifecycle for Stripe's core Payment Record objects. You will be responsible for the API, data consistency, and reliability of the platform that serves as the source of truth for all payments.

Be the internal champion and product owner for the many teams that build on top of the Payment Records Platform. You will own the internal developer experience and ensure our platform is scalable, extensible, and easy to use.

Obsess over the details of our platform's reliability, consistency, and performance. You will ensure the systems we build are trusted by the world's largest businesses for their most critical payment flows.

Deeply understand the payment reconciliation, reporting, and data-handling needs of Stripe's largest enterprise users to ensure our foundational data models can support them at scale.

Partner closely with engineering, legal, and other product teams to ensure the Payment Records Platform is a robust and seamless foundation for the entire Stripe ecosystem.
