Senior Product Manager, Orders & Payments
OVERVIEW
Every year, people across the world spend nearly one trillion dollars on groceries. Groceries are a vital part of our lives, but shopping for them hasn’t fundamentally changed since the first supermarket opened 100 years ago.
Food is sustenance, but it’s also much more than that. Food can be a part of a daily ritual or a special moment that resonates with people on a meaningful and emotional level. It can be a much-needed break in a long day, a taste that brings back memories, a creative experiment, a shared meal with loved ones, or even comfort during a hard time. Whether it’s a special occasion or an everyday occurrence, it should always be easy for people to get the ingredients they need.

The orders and payments team is responsible for managing the lifecycle of an order, processing the payment, coupon creation and management, and keeping our customers safe from fraud. We already process many millions of orders on the marketplace today but are investing heavily in our products here as we continue to scale and support new initiatives. You will drive the vision for the next generation of these systems as they come together to delight our customers, reliably and accurately process our orders, and contribute to Instacart’s growth.
