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
AI agents are starting to shop, buy, and pay on behalf of people and businesses. Agentic commerce is how Stripe makes that safe,
reliable, and ubiquitous for both agents and sellers. We're building this from close to zero, and it's critical that we make our
offerings globally available, including to many of our most strategic users in APAC.
This role anchors that work in the region, based in our Singapore office. As one of the first engineers on the ground, you will
shape agentic commerce, broadly, and how it localizes to APAC, specifically.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You'll set technical direction for agentic commerce in APAC and build it. This is a founding-engineer role in a new area: high
ownership, ambiguous problems, and users who are inventing their businesses alongside us. Because you'll work many time zones from
the core team, you'll operate with a high degree of autonomy. Stripe generally prizes clear writing, and this role is no
exception: crisp documents are a particularly effective way to collaborate across time zones.
You'll also spend real time with users. Some of the most important agentic commerce partners in the world are in APAC, and you'll
be in the room with them — understanding what they're trying to build, turning that into architecture, and shipping it back to
them fast.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the architecture and technical direction for agentic commerce in APAC, end to end — from early design through production
and adoption.
Be the prime mover on large, ambiguous projects: break the problem down for parallel work, make fast product and architecture
calls, and clear the blockers that would otherwise stall the team.
Operate with high autonomy across time zones. Make sound decisions independently, and know when and how to escalate.
Work directly with strategic users. Drive high-stakes conversations, understand what they need, and translate it into systems
we can build.
Write crisp technical documents — proposals, design docs, decision records — that let people in other time zones align and act
without a live meeting.
Represent Stripe in person with senior users and partners, explaining hard technical ideas clearly to technical and
non-technical audiences alike.
Write and review code, and hold the quality bar. You own what you ship regardless of how it was produced, and you hold
AI-assisted and hand-written code to the same standard.
Use AI tools as part of how you work day to day, and turn that leverage into reusable tooling and workflows that speed up
everyone around you.
Partner with Engineering Management, Product, and go-to-market teams across regions on long-term vision and roadmap.
Teach and mentor engineers as the APAC team grows.
WHO YOU ARE
We're looking for someone with the experience and skills below. If you meet the minimum requirements, we'd love to hear from you —
the preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
10+ years of software engineering experience, still hands-on with architecture and code.
Track record as the technical lead on a complex, external-facing product or platform.
Deep software architecture experience, and sound judgment about tradeoffs under ambiguity.
Proven ability to work independently and drive projects to completion with little oversight — ideally across time zones or
distributed teams.
Superb written communication. You write documents clear enough that decisions get made async, without you present.
Strong in-person and verbal communication, including in high-stakes conversations with senior, strategic users.
Comfort working directly with users: listening, earning trust, and turning their needs into technical direction.
Usage of AI tools as a standard part of daily delivery, holding their output to the same bar as your own, and getting more
capable over time.
Ability to build alignment across teams and functions without direct authority.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience in payments, fintech, or commerce infrastructure.
Experience building for APAC markets, or fluency in the region's commerce landscape and languages.
Experience with AI agents, LLM-driven products, or the protocols that let software transact autonomously.
A history of taking early-stage products from zero to adoption.
Experience as a founding or early engineer on a new team or product.

WHO WE ARE
ABOUT STRIPE
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Seller Systems team is dedicated to empowering sellers and stakeholders at Stripe by streamlining and optimizing the selling
process. This is a top priority for Stripe as it expands its enterprise revenue globally. We build tools and systems to make the
end-to-end selling process across initial contact with customers, deal modeling, negotiation, approvals, contracting, onboarding,
and activation absolutely world class. We treat this area as an engineering problem from first principles, implemented with a
hybrid architecture of first-party-developed custom Stripe components interoperating with third-party standard business
components. Our vision is to be able to offer a single plane of glass experience to our Sellers at Stripe, to allow them to
leverage AI through workflows that allow them to minimize overhead and increase their time on increasingly efficient selling.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Staff Engineer in Seller Systems, you'll be a technical anchor for one of Stripe's highest-priority engineering
investments—building the infrastructure that powers how Stripe sells to and wins customers globally. You'll own and drive
multi-year technical strategy across a complex hybrid architecture of first-party Stripe systems and third-party platforms
(including Salesforce), while directly shaping the seller experience across the full quote-to-cash lifecycle.
You'll set the architectural direction and be a multiplier across teams—owning end-to-end technical decisions that span
seller-facing workflows, core platform services, and integrations with Stripe's financial infrastructure.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Architect and build scalable, reliable systems that underpin Stripe's sales motion, including APIs and services that support
deal creation and modeling, multi-party approval workflows, contract generation, and merchant onboarding at global scale
• Lead Stripe's "single plane of glass" vision for sellers—driving architectural decisions on how first-party Stripe components
and third-party platforms (e.g., Salesforce) interoperate, and designing systems that surface the right data and actions to
sellers at the right time
• Integrate AI and agentic workflows into the selling process, identifying high-leverage opportunities to automate seller
overhead—from intelligent deal recommendations and pricing guidance to automated contract workflows and proactive activation
nudges
• Partner cross-functionally at a senior level with Go-to-Market, Finance, Legal, and Product teams to deeply understand the
selling process and translate business requirements into durable technical solutions that scale with Stripe's growth
• Raise the technical bar across the team—conduct thorough design and code reviews, establish engineering standards and best
practices, and create the conditions for senior and staff-adjacent engineers to do their best work
• Drive simplification and platform consolidation—reduce complexity in Stripe's go-to-market systems stack, identify opportunities
to consolidate overlapping tooling, and architect toward a maintainable, extensible platform that serves sellers reliably
• Mentor and sponsor senior engineers, helping them grow in technical scope and organizational influence, and fostering a culture
of ownership, craft, and collaboration across the Seller Systems team and beyond
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.

leveraged by other engineering teams
• You have a user-first mindset
• You care deeply about the product experience and the users who rely on the systems you build

• You work in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and have a curiosity to learn the domain to a deep level
• You've mentored senior engineers and meaningfully empowered their growth
• You thrive on a high level of autonomy and responsibility
