About the team
IAM is the nerve center of Stripe. We control how millions of businesses grant access to their account, including employees, AI agents, apps, and API integrations, across the Dashboard, API, CLI, and MCP. We're also a platform team, building the unified, fine-grained permissions model that every product at Stripe builds on.
AI agents are changing how businesses operate, and how they get authorized, governed, and secured is being defined right now—largely by us. We build for solo founders and Fortune 500s alike, and the tension between those two is where the real product work lives.
Responsibilities
- Set the vision and drive the roadmap for how every principal, human, agent, or app gets access to a Stripe account.
- Design the experience of granting access everywhere: signing up, inviting a teammate, creating an API key, authorizing an agent or a third-party app.
- Make agents a first-class citizen: define how agents authenticate, what they're allowed to do, and how businesses stay in control, including approvals and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- Drive least privilege, made easy: build custom roles, smart permission defaults, and usage-based recommendations.
- Push toward a world without secrets: make secretless authentication (Workload Identity Federation) the default way developers integrate with Stripe.
- Partner across nearly all of Stripe: pitch an ambitious vision and get teams across Dashboard, API Platform, Security, Payments and Money Movement excited to build it with you.
- Ship, learn, and iterate: run experiments, follow real usage, and adjust quickly.
Requirements
- 5+ years in product management, shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on.
- Background in security, identity, auth, or developer platforms, or serious curiosity about the space.
- A habit of talking to users to find the real problem, not the reported one.
- Technical fluency to go deep with engineers on authorization and authentication design.
- A bias toward experimentation over big-bang launches.
- Comfort setting direction in a space that's still being invented, across teams you don't manage.
