CompatibilityWorking at Stripe is not for everyone Not everyone finds success at Stripe. Those who do tend to share a few things in common. The right people don’t always think they’re right Successful Stripes are rigorous thinkers who appreciate that things worth doing are rarely simple. We want people who are not afraid to be wrong, who can enthusiastically back proposals they initially opposed, and who know how to support decisions with numbers and narrative. We operate in situations of substantial uncertainty and cannot afford either timidity or recklessness. The global financial system can seem like a mystifying domain. It isn’t. It’s made of people and computers, like many other systems you’ve worked on. Most Stripes don’t come from finance, and they’ve thrived by bringing fresh perspectives. We want generalists who can parachute anywhere into our operations, learn a new field quickly, and execute competently beyond their formal remit. We know that we can’t be successful without nurturing the careers of both generalists and experts. People who thrive in high-conflict work environments often do not enjoy the experience here. We try to embrace kindness while still encouraging Stripes to take measured risks and act boldly, even in the absence of consensus. Who is Stripe for? Ambitious builders We’re building solutions without clear precedent, solving problems with far-reaching consequences. The people here find that energizing, preferring the joy of discovery to the comfort of certainty. Adaptable problem solvers AI is changing how the global economy works, how our customers work, and how Stripes work. The people who thrive here adapt quickly and treat obstacles as opportunities. Rigorous thinkers We argue from first principles, question assumptions, and don’t stop at good enough. At Stripe, craft isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s the standard. The most successful Stripes are the people who have the intellectual horsepower, the curiosity to learn a very complicated business, and the humility to get up every day and realize there’s a huge amount of things they don’t know. Conor McNamaraHead of EMEA What all Stripes have in common We’re dedicated to our work and optimistic about the world. We believe entrepreneurship and free markets do good, and building what supports them matters. If that’s you, read on. Motivated by our mission Stripe is on a mission to grow the GDP of the internet. Ask Yourself: Do I see free markets and entrepreneurship as powerful forces for advancing progress? Does enabling entrepreneurship and helping to unlock the internet economy’s full potential seem like a compelling use of my time and talents? Embody our operating principles “Users first” is a cornerstone principle. Our users trust us to provide an essential service, and it’s a heavy responsibility that we take very seriously. Ask Yourself: Am I motivated to move mountains to protect and support businesses that depend on Stripe? Am I driven to overcome obstacles and take on big things to drive progress, or do I feel overwhelmed by the sheer scale and breadth of sometimes nebulous opportunities? Energized by change The pace of change at Stripe and in the broader economy is accelerating. You’ll work outside your domain, take on problems that didn’t exist a year ago, and be expected to adapt as quickly as the world does. Ask Yourself: Do I see a fast-moving environment as an opportunity rather than an obstacle? Am I comfortable taking on problems outside my domain or experience? Collaborative, multidisciplinary work Building programmable financial infrastructure from first principles is inherently complex. It means that everything we create requires deep, collaborative, multidisciplinary work: technically, organizationally, and geographically. Ask Yourself: Am I excited by navigating complexity at scale? How we operate You’ll bring high standards to everything you do and find others who do the same. Users first
