Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
- 5+ 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
Nice to Have
- 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
- Naturally default to the platform solution over the one-off fix, but know when speed demands the opposite
- Explain what a cascading re-render is, why it matters, and what to do about it—to an engineer, a designer, and a VP, in three different ways
