Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses that helps companies accept payments, grow revenue, and launch new business opportunities. The Engineering Manager will lead Abuse Control Engineering, directing technical strategy, people leadership, hiring, coaching, and cross-functional execution to close urgent abuse gaps and incubate durable safeguards. The role also oversees evidence-based control design, experimentation, regression testing, and handoffs to long-term product owners.
Responsibilities
- Set technical direction: Define and communicate the team's technical strategy and priorities for identifying cross-product abuse gaps, incubating controls, and preventing the recurrence of mitigated threats
- Lead and develop the team: Hire, manage, coach, and support engineers; provide clear expectations and feedback; and create opportunities for engineers to expand their technical judgment, leadership, and impact
- Guide evidence-based decisions: Ensure that attacker evidence, product context, and measurable outcomes inform technical abuse requirements, control designs, and investment decisions
- Drive secure control design: Partner with Application Security and product engineering teams to develop safeguards that are resilient, appropriately scoped, and compatible with the systems in which they operate
- Oversee experimentation: Guide experiments that assess risk reduction and the effect of controls on legitimate user conversion, helping the team make informed tradeoffs and refine its approach
- Build durable defenses: Ensure the team develops regression tests and other mechanisms that can detect whether previously mitigated abuse patterns recur
- Manage control incubation: Establish clear success measures, operational expectations, documentation, destination owners, handoff criteria, and target dates for incubated controls
- Complete ownership handoffs: Hold the team and its partners accountable for transferring successful controls to the product teams that permanently own the relevant surfaces, except where a control is intentionally maintained as a durable capability serving multiple products
- Lead cross-functional execution: Align security, product, engineering, and other partners around priorities, tradeoffs, responsibilities, and delivery plans, including in situations that require urgent coordination
Skills
- Experience managing an engineering team, including setting direction, prioritizing work, and being accountable for delivery and technical outcomes
- A relevant technical foundation in software engineering, security engineering, application security, anti-abuse engineering, or a closely related field, developed through professional experience, education, or an equivalent path
- Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers with different levels of experience, including providing actionable feedback and supporting career growth
- Experience leading cross-functional technical work involving teams with different goals, areas of expertise, or ownership boundaries
- Ability to evaluate technical designs, ask effective questions, and guide engineering decisions involving reliability, security, risk, and product tradeoffs
- Experience communicating technical strategy, priorities, risks, and decisions clearly to engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders
- Ability to create clarity in ambiguous or urgent situations and translate broad risk problems into actionable plans, ownership, and measurable outcomes
- Experience guiding experimentation or A/B testing, including evaluating control effectiveness and balancing risk reduction against effects on legitimate user conversion
- Knowledge of threat modeling, secure systems design, or modern application security practices
- Familiarity with API safeguards and abuse controls such as rate limits, authorization checks, input validation, step-up challenges, or related protective mechanisms
- Knowledge of financial-fraud patterns, attacker behavior, attack methods, or the infrastructure used to conduct abuse
- Experience using or overseeing work involving large-scale data platforms to analyze system activity, identify patterns, or measure control performance
- Experience incubating technical capabilities and transferring them to long-term owners through explicit success criteria, documentation, operational readiness, and target dates
- Experience leading a distributed team or coordinating execution across teams in multiple locations or time zones
