### 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**

We work to push Stripe’s mission of increasing the GDP of the internet by

design, high-polish user experiences, and creating reusable assets at scale to
increase the efficiency of our global GTM motion.

### What You’ll Do

technologies, systems, and processes that will enable teams across the globe
to be inspired by how they can demonstrate the power of Stripe to users, and
have the tools to do so easily. You will be part of our Solutions Architecture
(SA) team and partner closely with SAs to build assets, including tools,
environments, and demo code, that accelerate Stripe’s ability to deliver the

experts across product, design, engineering, sales and marketing to build demo
experiences that are current and world class. You will also partner cross
functionally to build a roadmap of deliverables for your team and drive to
execution. Under your leadership and guidance, the demo engineers will deliver
quick results to have an impact on how we position our products to customers.
A critical part of your role will be to enable the GTM teams on leveraging the
products your team has built and tracking adoption to deliver value and define
future deliverables. As a hands-on leader for your team, you will set clear
product direction for your team, define priorities and KPIs, communicate and
collaborate with leadership and cross functional partners, empower the broader
team for adoption of demo assets, and own deliverables.

* Evaluate internal and external tools that can accelerate time to value in delivering your team’s goals
* Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the many codebases and processes you will encounter…Craft and Beauty are in Stripe’s DNA and we take pride in that!

* Partner with product marketing to craft well articulated stories and narratives to complement the demos being built
