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
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.

You apply on the employer's page; AtiveSite does not receive or process applications and is not affiliated with the employer. The description above is shown as the source published it.
We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.
How to prepare and behave
This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.
Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
The listing is remote or has no US state we could identify. Read the country guide for pay, taxes, law and cost of living by state.
