Stripe announced a round of funding today: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-26/payment-startup-stripe-is-now-a-20-billion-company?srnd=technology-vp … Have I mentioned that we're hiring? We're hiring. We are *so* hiring.

One of top questions I get is "Do you guys hire remote engineers?" and in fact a healthy portion of our engineering organization is remote, and we are looking to hire folks for that as well. Some colleagues and I are putting together a virtual coffee if you care to learn more.

We'll let you know in the usual places when details are ready on that. It was a very Stripelike decisionmaking process: "We want to hire more remote engineers." "We should probably have, like, a remote coffee chat about that being an option." "Yes. How do we do that?" "We do it."

"And then after we have done it, we will write down how we did it, so we or someone else can produce a better version next time."

Stripe used to have a disclaimer of "Don't bother applying unless you're a Ruby expert; we have enough applicants that we can be selective about this." How true is that today?

That seems strikingly unlikely to be a quote from Stripe, but if you got that impression from someone, I apologize for it. We do a lot of work in Ruby. We also make material use of JS, Scala, Python, Golang, etc etc. It is not my impression that we'd filter on language.

What about engineers who does not live in Singapore? can they work from their home country remotely?
-
We can potentially support this for some candidates in some countries, depending on a few factors. I’m closest to the situation vis Japan-resident engineers but happy to route folks to right people to talk to.

Is part time an option?
-
The supermajority of people who I interact with closely at Stripe are full-time employees of the company.

Way too many of those are *remote, "Remote - North America"
