Launch Integration Engineer

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

Getting our users live and successful on Stripe is paramount to realizing our mission. We’re building a Launch function to help our users on their journey. The team will be at the forefront of driving growth – analyzing what’s working well that we want to replicate, figuring out where people might be getting stuck, designing automated and targeted journeys for all users, funneling more users to Partners and ProServ, and building out a multi‑faceted team of user‑facing experts, program managers, integration engineers, and launch managers.

What you’ll do

In this role you’ll be responsible for guiding customers to successful Optimized Checkout Suite (OCS) & Link implementations. The OCS and Link teams focus on building best‑in‑class checkout experiences that provide delightful checkout experiences for customers, while driving higher purchase conversion for merchants. As an organization, we work on Checkout, Payment Links, Elements, Payment Methods, and Link – each playing a crucial part in augmenting the economic landscape of the internet.

Working closely with our other Post‑Sales teams (Accelerate, ProServ Consulting, and Alliances and Channels Partners) you’ll proactively engage users and shepherd them through the integration process. This will include providing technical consultations as well as motivating forward progress. We’re seeking candidates with technical and business skills to drive high quality integrations while accelerating the time to go‑live process. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional teams to drive product improvements, solve challenging and complex problems, and improve Stripe’s offerings.

• Work closely with OCS & Link Product & Engineering teams to improve and evolve Stripe products
• Drive continuous improvement of the OCS & Link Launch offering, including owning initiatives like user communication, product enablement, process optimization, and data intelligence
• Closely partner with our sales team to ensure users have the right level of implementation offering attached, including for services from Professional Services or Partner teams
• Measure and report on the progress and completion of user implementations, surfacing user insights and areas with consistent friction

Office‑assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in our Bucharest, Romania site have a 80% in‑office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in‑office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in‑person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
