In the posting’s own words

Demo Engineering shows customers how Stripe works instead of just telling them. AI has made demos faster to build, which raises the bar on everything around the build: picking the right story, scoping it to what a customer needs to see, and keeping it current as Stripe ships. We're looking for technically fluent storytellers who know Stripe's products deeply and can turn positioning into demos that land in our most visible customer moments.

What it asks for · 6

  • 3+ years in a technical, customer-facing, or product role such as solutions engineering, sales engineering, technical product marketing, developer relations, or software engineering
  • Deep technical product fluency: you can explain how APIs and products fit together and judge what can be demoed reliably
  • Strong storytelling and written communication; you can turn a positioning doc into a narrative a customer will remember
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex) to prototype and build software
  • Strong judgment and taste about what matters to a customer audience, from developers to executives
  • Comfortable owning projects end to end across Product Marketing, Solutions Architects, Product, Design, and Engineering

Also a plus

  • Experience as a software engineer, or experience building and integrating with Stripe or other RESTful APIs
  • Experience with online and in-person payments, subscriptions, card issuing, or other relevant concepts
  • Experience scoping or delivering executive briefings, keynotes, or large event demos
  • Experience working closely with Product Marketing on launches
  • Subject-matter expertise in a relevant industry, vertical, or product

What the job covers

  • Translate Product Marketing positioning and messaging into demo narratives
  • Design multi-product demo stories that sequence cleanly
  • Direct demo builds using AI-assisted tools to prototype quickly and build production-quality work
  • Track Stripe product launches and keep the demo portfolio current and on-message
  • Curate the Demo Hub so the field can find the right demo for the right customer
  • Serve as the primary Product Marketing liaison for event demo content
  • Scope EBC and strategic customer demos with Solutions Architects and the EBC team

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched November 5, 2026 and last changed by Stripe on November 5, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
