Technical Operations roles in Financial Connections are a dynamic and critical component of the organization's success. As Financial Connections TechOps Manager, you will lead a team of Integration Reliability Engineers who sit at the intersection of product and platform engineers, financial partners, and AI automation. Your role is to ensure that nothing is lost in translation: setting the standard for how the team operates, where it invests, and how the operational backbone of Stripe's open banking ecosystem stays reliable at scale.

Lead integration reliability and partner operations

• Own the health of Financial Connections' banking integrations at the team level—define what "reliable" looks like across the partner ecosystem, set the operational bar, and hold the team to it

• Serve as the management escalation point for complex partner issues, coordinating across financial partners, Stripe engineering, and product leadership with urgency and clear accountability

• Drive strategy for integration health: set SLOs, own the operational metrics that surface risk before it becomes an incident, and ensure the team's priorities reflect the actual risk landscape

• Prioritize the integration backlog in partnership with your team—new partner launches, reliability improvements, partner-driven technical changes—balancing operational urgency against longer-term investment

• Sustain technical relationships with key financial partners at the leadership level, including commercial alignment, escalation frameworks, and forward-looking roadmap coordination

Shape the agentic automation strategy

• Set direction for how the team applies LLM-powered agentic workflows to high-volume operational work—making deliberate choices about where automation creates leverage and where human judgment must remain in the loop

• Partner with product and platform engineering to ensure agentic tooling investments are appropriately scoped, shipped reliably, and measurably reduce toil for the team over time

• Build your team's capability to design and operate Human-in-the-Loop review systems—ensuring automation is deployed with the right safeguards, risk calibration, and operational ownership

• Identify the manual, high-volume process categories that are ripe for elimination and sequence the work to deliver compounding leverage, not one-off fixes

Build and grow the TechOps function

• Hire, onboard, and develop a team of TechOps Integration Reliability Engineers—your most important output is a highly capable, well-coached team that is genuinely energized by the mission

• Build a team culture that values
