Engineering Manager, Money as a Service (MaaS)

About the role

Stripe's Money Management products (Financial Accounts, Treasury, Global Payouts, Issuing and Capital) let businesses hold, move, spend and earn money. The newly formed Asia-Pacific Money as a Service (MaaS) team is based in Singapore and brings these products to APAC markets, building local rails, compliance and partner integrations. As Engineering Manager you will make key strategic, product and technical decisions for money management in Asia-Pacific.

Key responsibilities

• Lead multiple pods and grow the team, and be accountable for what ships, when and how well it works for users.
• Own the engineering side of a zero-to-one charter: turn an ambiguous regional strategy into a sequenced roadmap, decide whether to build, integrate or partner, and coordinate launches across licensing, bank and network partners and compliance.
• Own the business outcome alongside product, go-to-market, legal, compliance and partnerships, and push back when the plan is wrong.
• Stay hands-on: read the code, review designs, use the product as users do, and understand the money movement stack end to end.
• Build the team's operating system: hiring, rituals, quality standards, on-call practices and processes that keep money movement safe and reliable.
• Hire great engineers, develop them and give direct, timely feedback.

Required profile

• 3+ years of engineering management experience and 8+ years of software engineering experience.
• Experience taking a product or team from zero to one, such as a new market, product line or team you built and scaled.
• Track record of hiring, developing and retaining strong engineers and building an inclusive, high-performing team.
• Strong technical depth on architecture, reliability and trade-offs in complex distributed systems, with strong product judgment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior stakeholders across time zones.
• Preferred: payments, banking or money movement experience, especially launching regulated financial products in new markets; APAC experience with local banks, networks or regulators; founder or early-stage startup experience; experience with distributed partner teams across US, Europe and APAC; use of AI tools to improve execution and quality.

What we offer

• Annual salary range of SGD 244,000 - SGD 366,000 in the primary location, which may vary by location and career level.
• Possible equity, company bonus or sales commissions, retirement plans, health benefits and wellness stipends.
• At least 50% of the time in the local office per month, though this varies by role, team and location.
