Engineering Manager, Frontend Infrastructure

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.

The Frontend Infrastructure Engineering team is a high impact, high leverage, and high visibility team that supports the productivity of Stripe’s user interface engineers. The team creates and supports cross cutting infrastructural libraries, services, and utilities; establishes and enforces clean coding patterns; makes sweeping code changes that improve the quality of code at Stripe; and improves build times and reliability.

That’s not easy. We work with a code base of several million lines of code (and counting), used by thousands of engineers across the globe and we must focus at many levels of the stack. It’s not easy, but it’s rewarding and what we do is key to allowing Stripe engineers working in our products to have the most productive time of their careers.

• Lead a team of engineers and guide the team in making good technical and prioritization decisions

• Recruit great engineers in collaboration with Stripe’s recruiting team
• Help engineers advance in their careers and develop new skills
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Stripe’s engineering management team

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.

• 4+ years of engineering management experience
• 6+ years product or developer productivity experience as an engineer or manager
• A passion for supporting developer productivity
• Comfortable with a high degree autonomy to figure out what your internal customers need and accountability to justify your prioritization decisions

• Hands on experience doing front end development

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $236,000 - $354,000. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns.
