- Lead strategic technical conversations, articulating how Stripe works from both a product feature and API architecture perspective, and managing user expectations on timelines and product changes
- Collaborate with Sales, Solution Architecture, and Implementation teams to drive user engagement and commercial outcomes on behalf of the Professional Services team
- Work closely with Product and Engineering to proactively surface potential enhancements and new features based on field feedback
- Provide deep technical support and debugging—inspecting the Stripe codebase, testing functionality thoroughly, building proof-of-concept integrations, creating user-specific test plans, and answering ad-hoc technical questions
- Lead hands-on keyboard implementations where required, providing substantive feedback on coding practices, CI/CD, and software architecture
- Review and optimise existing user integrations, providing recommendations to improve performance, reliability, and efficiency
- Build tools and analytics—including dashboards, queries, and custom data reports—to support user business reviews and operational needs
- Develop reusable processes and shared knowledge to enable the broader Professional Services team
