About the team
The Credit Risk team develops intelligent systems that help Stripe identify high-risk accounts, minimize credit losses, and improve profitability.

We’re looking for an engineering manager to lead the Credit Risk team and shape how Stripe uses machine learning to manage credit risk at scale. You’ll set the team’s technical and product direction, connect advances in machine learning to measurable business outcomes, and help engineers deliver reliable systems that balance loss prevention with the user experience.
You’ll work across engineering, product, data science, and risk to identify the highest-impact opportunities and turn them into a focused roadmap. You’ll also hire and develop engineers, strengthen the team’s technical practices, and contribute to machine learning and engineering leadership across Stripe.
