Product Manager, Terminal Developer Experiences

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 Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team’s mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has made it to accept online payments. Whether a user is building a superb retail experience, extending their website to a pop-up store, or enabling mobile point-of-sale payments at their next event, Terminal gives them the building blocks to do it. Almost every Terminal experience starts with a developer building the integration. The Developer Experiences team owns that work: the SDKs, APIs, integration primitives, documentation, and example apps that developers—and, increasingly, AI agents—use to build on Terminal. In this role, you’ll own how developers and agents integrate in-person payments with Stripe, from making their first test charge to running their integrations at scale in production. What you’ll do You’ll own the roadmap and execution for Terminal’s developer-facing surface: the client SDKs (JavaScript, iOS, Android, React Native, .NET, and Java), the integration primitives developers depend on, and the documentation and example apps that help them make their first successful charge. You’ll work with engineering to ship capabilities that make Terminal faster to integrate and more reliable to run while supporting newer patterns such as server-driven integration and agent-built integrations. Responsibilities Own the roadmap and execution for Terminal’s developer experience within the team’s strategy: break the roadmap into milestones, define requirements, prioritize work, and drive delivery through sprint planning while making the tradeoffs required by a broad surface area. Talk regularly with external developers, platforms, and internal Stripe teams to validate ideas, requirements, and prototypes and turn what you learn into better developer experiences. Partner with engineering and design to ship functionality that delights developers building on Terminal, balancing impact against engineering cost and delivering measurable results. Own the integration primitives developers depend on—including connection tokens, integration authentication, device attestation, and connectivity—to ensure that developers can build secure, reliable in-person payment experiences consistently across every SDK and platform. Set the direction for integrations at scale, from server-driven integration and reusable example apps to agentic tooling that allows AI agents to build and test safely, and maintain a high bar for Terminal’s documentation and accessibility. Use data to form a point of view, set success metrics, and determine whether changes are working. Communicate decisions and status to stakeholders and use your technical judgment to help the team make tradeoff decisions. Who you are We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. Minimum requirements 5+ years of product management experience or equivalent experience, with a track record of shipping products that solve real user problems. Technical expertise gained by building and owning developer-facing products such as APIs, SDKs, or developer tools. A track record of driving execution across cross-functional teams within an established product vision and strategy. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex concepts accessible and structure ambiguous problems from first principles. Comfort working across many functions, stakeholders, and subject-matter experts and engaging in healthy, respectful debate in pursuit of shared goals. Preferred qualifications Experience with mobile SDKs, including iOS or Android, or cross-platform frameworks such as React Native. Experience with payments, in-person commerce, or hardware-adjacent products. Experience building for AI agents or developing agentic tooling. Experience building and launching zero-to-one products. A hands-on approach: you test-drive integrations yourself and improve the documentation before shipping functionality.
