About the team
Technical Account Managers for Stripe Terminal partner with Technical Account Managers to deliver focused, technical engagements for customers adopting or scaling in-person payments. These engagements are typically short-to-medium in length and center on hardware onboarding, SDK enablement, pilot validation, and operational readiness. You’ll help customers move quickly from evaluation to reliable in-store acceptance while surfacing learnings back to Product and Support.
What you’ll do
Support short high-impact Terminal engagements and augment the broader TAM function for enterprise in-person commerce customers.
Responsibilities
- Run focused technical engagements for assigned Terminal customers — pilots, rollouts, SDK/hardware onboarding, and targeted troubleshooting.
- Serve as a technical augment to TAMs and Account teams: provide hands-on integration help, gap assessments, and targeted runbooks during the engagement window.
- Guide customers through reader provisioning, pairing, SDK integration patterns (mobile/web), and cloud API usage relevant to the engagement scope.
- Diagnose and resolve in-person payment issues that arise during pilots or rollouts (connectivity, pairing, contactless/EMV edge cases, reconciliation signals), escalating appropriately.
- Produce concise, customer-facing artifacts (integration checklists, short runbooks, sample snippets) tailored to the engagement outcome.
- Work with Support, Operations, and Product to surface recurring issues discovered during short engagements and contribute to improvements in documentation, onboarding flows, and troubleshooting playbooks.
- Lead technical calls, demo sessions, and occasional on-site work as needed for short-term deployments.
- Hand off longer-term operational or product requests to the owning TAM or Account team, and ensure the customer has a clear next-step plan.
