Technical Program Manager, Extensibility Programs

Stripe Stripe · Fintech · United States · 8414 MerchantXP - Eng

Technical Program Manager to drive the Extensibility program across Workflows, Custom Objects, and Scripts workstreams. This role is at the intersection of platform engineering, product management, and cross-organizational program ownership, focusing on expanding Stripe's total addressable market and increasing customer retention through programmable extensibility primitives.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive cross-org decisions across DRIs in Script Platform, Custom Objects, Apps, SDK, Observability, DevEx, and Versioning — actively resolving the hard, ambiguous integration and ownership questions that fall between team boundaries.
  2. Own the critical path to major launches — proactively shaping scope, driving descope decisions, and negotiating trade-offs across teams so that launches reflect deliberate strategic choices.
  3. Influence and shape product and engineering roadmaps — bringing a program-level perspective to team planning cycles, pushing back where individual team roadmaps are misaligned with broader extensibility strategy, and advocating for cross-cutting investments that no single team will prioritize on their own.
  4. Support ProServ and Partnerships — Ensure ProServ and Partnerships requirements are surfaced into the roadmap with the same rigor as product requirements, and hold the bridge between what the platform delivers and what those teams need to close and serve complex customers
