Who we are
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. 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
Custom objects allow businesses to define custom data models in Stripe, ensuring Stripe reflects how their business operates. A business might have data that doesn’t fit standard Stripe objects, such as Shipments, Reservations, or InsurancePolicies. Once defined in Stripe, that custom data can be used with Stripe-native objects, such as Customers, Subscriptions, and Invoices. Companies can keep their existing system of record and bring over what their Stripe integration needs, or use custom objects as the system of record for that data.
Custom objects are the data pillar of Stripe’s extensibility platform, which consists of Stripe Apps, Stripe Workflows, scripts, and extension points.
We’re hiring a product manager to lead our custom objects product, which will make it easy for anyone to model, ingest, and use data on Stripe.
What you’ll do
This is a product management opportunity for an early-stage product (private preview!), and you’ll be responsible for the entire product line: identifying use cases, product design, iterating quickly by partnering with early adopters, pricing, and more. You’ll also work very closely with multiple teams at Stripe to enable their products to be “custom object-ready.”
Responsibilities
- Interact with customers and internal product teams daily so that you can validate product ideas, requirements, and prototypes
- Partner with engineering and design to ship functionality that delights users, strikes the right balance between impact and engineering cost, and makes a measurable impact
- Develop the vision, strategy, and roadmap so that we can launch in public preview in early 2027
- Define key success metrics
- Work closely with user researchers to test hypotheses and understand user pain points
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
- 12+ years of product management experience
- A computer science background or equivalent technical experience
- Both passion for and experience building data platforms. For example, you’ve either built a custom data platform, such as Salesforce Custom Objects, Shopify Metaobjects, or HubSpot Custom Objects, or you’ve built a tool that consumes or modifies objects from those platforms.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to structure ambiguous concepts clearly and from first principles, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts
- Demonstrated experience leading initiatives across large engineering organizations, spanning multiple teams to influence technical roadmap planning and execution
Preferred qualifications
- You enjoy using social media to interact directly with customers for feedback
- You’ve founded a business or startup, taking a product from zero to one
- You only ship functionality after you’ve personally test-driven it and made heavy edits to the documentation
