About the team
The Payments organization owns some of Stripe's most critical payment flows and a platform that processes hundreds of billions of dollars in payments a year.
Our team is responsible for translating complex partner specifications related to network costs (interchange and scheme fees) into simplified logic for internal and external consumption.
This also drives decisions and product recommendations to manage the underlying network costs paid by Stripe and our users.
The team partners closely with the engineering, product, finance, and partnership groups to manage and understand Stripe's network costs.
Our work is core to Stripe's business, as Technical Operations roles in Payments are a dynamic and key component of Stripe's success.
We sit at the intersection of product/platform engineers and financial partners, connecting them to ensure that everyone thrives and nothing is lost in translation.
What you'll do
We are looking to add payment enthusiasts who enjoy interpreting complex cost structures and ever changing payment network systems in order to optimize on behalf of Stripe and our users.
You will be instrumental in building Stripe's approach to managing our global network cost base.
Responsibilities
Collaborate across the company, including engineering, accounting, financial partnerships and product teams, to analyze billions of dollars moving through the Stripe platform.
Translate network specifications into implementation instructions to create billing models for new and revised fees (both scheme and interchange)
Influence product strategy to minimize network costs
Work with Product and Engineering to implement cost saving opportunities
Partner with Finance to prioritize areas for investment and explain trends in costs and margin impact
Monitor and maintain the accuracy of the fees through validation and alerting
Creating fee explainability to internal and external stakeholders
Hosting education sessions for internal teams to scale knowledge
Introduce data and process efficiencies to meet the scale and speed of Stripe.
Identify and automate inefficient operational processes to reduce manual workloads
Scale our network cost operation by driving the design, documentation, and training of operational processes to leverage partner relationships.
Who you are
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.
Minimum requirements
Have 5+ years of experience in Payments at a leading technology or payments company
Have experience writing SQL to query relational databases
Have experience managing communications and workflows with technical and non-technical teams across internal and external stakeholders
Experience mentoring junior team members in technical skill development, operational strategy and problem solving
Have experience navigating the nuanced complexity of financial systems and solving large scale, technical challenges
Have strong financial modeling and analytical skills to investigate, prioritize, and identify the root cause of issues
Have experience managing multiple, concurrent work streams, identifying and triaging technical issues and driving solutions with clear metrics to show impact
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our 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 and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office.
Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss.
This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country.
Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
