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's Money Management products (Financial Accounts, Treasury, Global Payouts, Issuing, and Capital) let businesses and platforms hold, move, spend, and earn on their money using the same infrastructure they already use for payments. APAC Money as a Service (MaaS) is a newly formed team, based in Singapore, responsible for bringing this product suite to Asia-Pacific markets, enabling global businesses and platforms to use these capabilities directly or offer them to their APAC users, and building the local rails, compliance, and partner integrations that make it all work.

In this role, you'll make some of the most significant strategic, product, and technical decisions for money management in Asia-Pacific at Stripe. The systems this team builds let businesses and platforms integrate with Stripe once, then open accounts, move money, and issue cards across an expanding set of APAC markets and currencies, and grow across the region without rebuilding their stack for each country.

What you’ll do

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple pods and grow the team.
• Be accountable for the team's output: what ships, when, and how well it works for users.
• Own the engineering side of a zero-to-one charter. Turn an ambiguous regional strategy into a sequenced, de-risked roadmap, make the build, integrate, or partner calls, and get launches over the line across licensing, bank and network partners, and compliance.
• Operate as a peer owner of the business outcome alongside product, go-to-market, legal, compliance, and partnerships. Bring a product point of view, and push back when the plan is wrong.
• Stay hands-on and in the details: read the code, review designs, use the product the way our users do, and understand how Stripe's money movement stack works end to end so you can make sound technical calls under uncertainty.
• Build the operating system for a newly formed team: hiring, rituals, quality bar, on-call, and the processes that let the team move fast while keeping money movement safe and reliable.
• Hire great engineers, develop them, and give direct, timely feedback.

Who you are

We're looking for someone with a founder's mindset: high agency, comfortable with ambiguity, and biased toward shipping. You've built something from nothing, you know what it takes to launch a product in a new market, and you don't wait for a perfect spec or for permission. You care about users and the product as much as about the code, and you'd rather own an outcome than a process. Applicants must meet minimum requirements; preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a bar.

Minimum requirements

• 3+ years of engineering management experience and 8+ years of software engineering experience
• Experience taking a product or team from zero to one: a new market, a new product line, or a team you built and scaled
• A track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers and building a high-performing, inclusive team
• Strong technical depth to engage credibly on architecture, reliability, and tradeoffs in complex distributed systems
• Strong product judgment and the ability to translate user and market needs into engineering priorities
• Excellent written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior stakeholders across time zones

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in payments, banking, or money movement, especially launching regulated financial products (accounts, payouts, cards, or lending) in new markets
• Experience operating in APAC markets, including working with local banks, networks, or regulators
• Founder, founding engineer, or early-stage startup experience
• Experience working with distributed partner teams across US, European, and APAC time zones
• Experience using AI tools to improve execution, quality, and team effectiveness
