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.

About the team

The Money Management Abstractions team is building the future of Stripe’s money management (“v2” or “StripeNext”) while supporting the most fundamental money management capabilities of Stripe today (“v1”). 

The Money Management Abstractions (MMA) team builds, maintains, and extends the user-facing capabilities to fund, store, and move money within the GPTN. We “abstract” or make the powerful capabilities the MMS Network and Platform teams build legible and usable to users. We do this via Money Management APIs (v1 and v2).

What you’ll do

You’ll work closely with MMA engineering, leaders across MMS (Network, Platform, MMCE), product leaders across Stripe (Accounts, Connect, BaaS), and cross-functional partners to help us build out the Money Management Abstractions, which allow our users to:

Responsibilities

The MMA team builds 3 sets of abstractions to power money movement on Stripe. These abstractions consist of funding money into Stripe accounts, storing money within those accounts, and sending money out of Stripe accounts into users bank accounts.

This role is responsible for the set of abstractions which allow users to store money on Stripe. How we let users store money on Stripe is evolving, with us now offering things like FDIC insurance and yield to let our users achieve more on the Stripe platform without having to move it to external bank accounts. You will have to be able to think strategically about how we can continue to increase the value for our users of storing money on Stripe, while overcoming technical challenges to design world-class API’s. 

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. 

Minimum requirements User-first: you can synthesize external and internal (e.g. Connect, Treasury) user demands to inform design choices and prioritization, and manage pilot / betas Comfortable across the stack: our work sits in-between our network teams and our users. You’ll need to be equally comfortable working with bank partners as you are with end users Technically curious: you are comfortable in technical conversations, opinionated on user needs, and are willing to work closely with engineering and tech leads on API design. You don’t need to be ‘technical’, but your product is an API Cross-functional: you can coordinate closely across product teams and functions (e.g. Legal, Treasury, Financial Crimes, etc.). Our team sits between fundamental financial and bank partner integrations and our users Strong communicators: given the systemic importance of our work, we radiate intent to ensure partners, stakeholders, and leaders understand our progress and bottlenecks  Strong executors: we move with speed and urgency to make the future (“v2”) a reality
