About the team
The Strategy & Operations (S&O) team for Infra is responsible for enabling the continued rapid growth and operational excellence of one of Stripe's most strategic areas - the infrastructure group. This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, strategy, finance, data, GTM and day-to-day execution, ensuring the infra organization is well-informed, running efficiently and poised to deliver on the future product needs.
As a key member of this team, you will tackle a diverse array of challenges that underpin Stripe's technical foundations which will span system scalability, platform reliability, and efficiency. You will provide the analytical rigor and operational pragmatism necessary to scale Stripe's infrastructure in a way that is both technically resilient and fiscally sustainable.
Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will lead critical strategic projects, translate complex system performance and capacity trends into actionable infrastructure requirements, and drive the high-stakes architectural and resource decisions necessary for Stripe's long-term growth.
The Infrastructure Strategy & Operations team is a vital partner to Stripe's engineering leadership and the Office of the CPTO, focused on three core pillars:
- Setting and Driving the Engineering Agenda: We design the organizational structures and operating models that enable our infrastructure to scale ahead of the business. We lead critical technical governance forums and synthesize system-level health metrics such as utilization, latency, and fleet reliability into strategic insights for senior leadership.
- Strategic Capacity & Infrastructure Planning: We deliver objective, data-driven strategies for our platform roadmap. By modeling future infrastructure needs against business growth forecasts, we ensure our global hardware and software investments are proactive rather than reactive, bridging the gap between deep engineering requirements and financial reality.
- Program/Process Incubation: We add structure and clarity to ambiguous problems, leading and influencing large cross-functional teams to stand up and define new programs and processes that simplify how we run the business. We lead cross-functional initiatives to stand up new programs focused on infrastructure efficiency and resource optimization without compromising developer velocity.
