About
the Team We build and operate Stripe’s Event Infrastructure — the reliable, low-latency backbone that captures, routes, and persists billions of events daily. We design resilient, scalable systems for real-time ingestion, filtering, transformation, and high-throughput delivery to downstream consumers. We prioritize observability, backpressure control, and graceful degradation to keep payments and platform features running under any load. By automating operations and iterating on capacity and cost optimizations, we enable product teams to build on a predictable event-streaming foundation. The Impact You’ll Have As an Engineering Manager in the infrastructure organization, you are expected to see problems others don't and rally people to independently create solutions. You will move beyond day-to-day management to act as an industry leader, effectively advocating for your organization's mission, values, and impact. Architect the Org & Culture: Design and scale a high-leverage org structure. You will define what "Elite Engineering" looks like, setting the bar for craftsmanship and operational rigor serving as a blueprint for Stripe infrastructure. Vision and Strategy: Define the scope, vision, and goals for your organization with little or no guidance from your manager. You will anticipate industry trends and use them to influence Stripe's long-range plans, setting direction on a multi-year timeframe for Stripe’s online storage layer. Drive Operational Excellence: You will instill a culture of rigorous thinking and meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring our infrastructure remains proactive and resilient as Stripe’s business demands evolve. Bridge Engineering & Business: You will collaborate with cross-functional leaders to align deep engineering needs with global business growth forecasts. Build the Future Team: Proactively invest in the development of the organization and its people at all levels. You will obsess over talent, hiring and coaching other managers to elevate the skills of the leadership team.
