Engineering Manager, Accounting Products

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    The Data and Accounting Products team provides the foundation for Stripe’s financial intelligence, including Sigma, SDP, and Revenue Recognition.

We enable a diverse spectrum of users—from brand-new startups to public companies—to have seamless, centralized access to their data and automated financial reporting solutions. While the internet has been a boon to productivity, common financial processes like monthly accounting and quarterly reporting remain painfully manual and fragmented across dozens of tools.

The stakes are high: one-third of finance leaders reopen their books every quarter due to errors, and half spend significant time manually correcting discrepancies. Our suite relieves these burdens by building revenue management and data tools as sophisticated as the businesses they run. We automate manual work and improve accuracy across the entire cash flow life cycle—from payments and billing to tax, reporting, and reconciliation.

As part of the Data and AI organization, we are investing in a highly extensible platform and data foundations. We are building the integrations and infrastructure that allow us to scale our reach by orders of magnitude, turning massive datasets into trustworthy, real-time financial insights for our users.
