About the team

The AI Build team is a new, industry-focused team dedicated to building with the world’s leading and fastest-scaling AI companies. We work alongside Stripe’s AI Solutions Architecture and GTM teams, and across Stripe’s product suite to help customers adopt emerging products, close interoperability and 0→1 solution gaps, and bring field learning directly into Stripe’s product roadmap. The team owns strategic proof-of-concept engagements across the pre- and post-sales lifecycle, complementing Stripe’s AI account teams and the product depth of Stripe’s specialist teams.

What you'll do

As a Solutions Engineer on the AI Build team, you’ll work directly with frontier AI companies on the payments, billing, and monetization infrastructure underlying their core businesses. You’ll own complex proof-of-concept engagements on Stripe’s frontier products, from initial scoping through activation and handoff, combining customer discovery, solution design, rapid prototyping, and cross-functional leadership. You won’t simply implement a finished product: you’ll build with customers, identify where Stripe’s products or integrations need to evolve, and help customers feel as though they are inside our product roadmap.

Responsibilities

• Own strategic POCs end to end: Sell, scope, and lead proof-of-concept engagements from initial customer commitment through activation.
• Build with customers: Work deeply with users’ engineers and technical leaders to understand their workflows, rapidly prototype solutions, and establish credible paths to production.
• Design across Stripe: Create solutions that span multiple Stripe products and determine whether blockers require configuration, integration work, custom development, or a core product change.
• Close 0→1 gaps: Navigate incomplete products, evolving requirements, and interoperability gaps while balancing immediate customer outcomes with reusable solutions.
• Influence the roadmap: Translate customer needs and deployment friction into clear product requirements, and partner with product and engineering teams to shape how Stripe’s frontier products are built.
• Lead cross-functionally: Coordinate AI account teams, AI and specialist Solutions Architects, product and engineering teams, Professional Services, and post-sales technical resources across the engagement lifecycle of new builds and deployments.
• Create repeatable patterns: Turn successful customer-specific work into reusable prototypes, reference architectures, implementation playbooks, and solution components.
• Stay close to the AI frontier: Operate at the pace and in the working style of AI-native companies, and remain current on emerging companies, products, business models, and technical developments across the industry.
