The opportunity
IAM is the nerve center of Stripe. We control how millions of businesses grant access to their account, including employees, AI agents, apps, and API integrations, across the Dashboard, API, CLI, and MCP.
What you'll do
Design the experience of granting access, everywhere. Signing up, inviting a: teammate, creating an API key, authorizing an agent or a third-party app.
Design for agents specifically. Design for agents as a new principal within: Stripe, including how they authenticate, what they're allowed to do, and how businesses stay in control, including approvals and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for actions involving real money. You're defining an experience that will set the industry standard.
Drive least privilege, made easy. Take holistic ownership across Stripe to: ensure that every user, app and agent has only the permissions it requires. Build custom roles, smart permission defaults, and permission recommendations based on real API usage to make least-privilege authorization easy rather than tedious.
Push toward a world without secrets. Make secretless authentication (Workload: Identity Federation) the default way developers integrate with Stripe to prevent emerging security threats from increasingly sophisticated and AI-powered attackers.
Partner across all of Stripe. Pitch an ambitious vision, then get teams: across Dashboard, API Platform, Security, Payments and Money Movement genuinely excited to build it with you.
What they're looking for
- + years in PM, shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on
- Background in security, identity, auth, or developer platforms, or serious curiosity about the space
- A habit of talking to users to find the real problem, not the reported one
- Technical fluency to go deep with engineers on authorization and authentication design
- A bias toward experimentation over big-bang launches
- Comfort setting direction in a space that's still being invented, across teams you don't manage
