Engineering Manager, GPTN Integrations

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

The GPTN Integrations team within MaaS is responsible for building and maintaining the core orchestration layer and related internal storage primitives (e.g. GPTN Accounts, Transit State) that power reliable, safe, compliant, and programmable movement and storage of funds within the Stripe eco-system. Money as a Service (MaaS) oversees a diverse portfolio of Stripe's core products and platforms. These offerings facilitate the global movement and management of funds for users. The teams that fall under the MaaS umbrella include: Accounts and Connect, Money Movement and Storage (MMS), Crypto and Banking as a Service (BaaS). Together, these teams work to ensure Stripe users have the robust financial infrastructure and tools they need to power their businesses on a global scale.

As the gateway to the Money Movement and Storage Platform, the team provides a programmable interface built on foundational primitives. These primitives serve as the “assembly language” of GPTN, designed for safety, reliability, and compliance, while also supporting seamless expansion into new geographies, financial partners, payment rails, currencies, and regulatory environments. In 2024 and 2025, our primitives powered key Stripe company OKRs such as Global Payouts, Payments Orchestration, the new Financial Accounts dashboard, Stripe Balance Payments.
