The opportunity
Sail Core builds Stripe's frontend platform—the data layer, navigation, observability, and developer tooling that 50+ product teams use to ship web applications, with the Dashboard being the largest. We are responsible for enabling a stellar developer experience for frontend engineers at Stripe.
What you'll do
Own the product strategy and roadmap for Stripe's frontend platform
Drive the largest frontend modernization initiative at Stripe while holding the line on architectural quality
Redefine frontend development with agentic tooling
Define and track key metrics such as latency, build times, and reliability: SLOs to make difficult trade-off decisions
Be the product voice in deeply technical decisions such as API surface: design, framework deprecation sequencing, extraction boundaries, and migration tooling
What they're looking for
- + years of product management experience, with at least 2 years on platform,: infrastructure, or developer tools teams
- Strong technical fluency in frontend web development—you discuss JavaScript: and TypeScript, React component models, build systems, and performance optimization with depth
- Experience driving large-scale migrations or platform transitions across: multiple teams, including the sequencing, dependency management, and stakeholder alignment that make them succeed
- Demonstrated use of quantitative metrics to drive platform investment: decisions—you've defined the metrics, not just tracked them
- Track record of partnering with engineering to make architectural trade-offs grounded in user impact
- Engineering background—you've written frontend code professionally and it: still shapes how you think about product decisions
- Led or significantly contributed to a legacy extraction or monolith: decomposition effort and understand viscerally why they're hard and where they get stuck
- Believe that fast software is the best software
