Stripe is hiring. https://stripe.com/jobs I've got some thoughts:

I like that we both have a healthy core business and can make big bets about what the future looks like, including e.g. Stripe Atlas. We care about quarter-to-quarter numbers, mostly to keep ourselves honest, but expect to hear a lot about "What does X look like in 5 years?"

I think you'd be surprised by how much Stripe trusts its people and how much they trust each other. This is not the default mode of financial institutions or professionally-managed companies; we have it and zealously defend it.

Trust mostly manifests as a lack of barriers-for-the-sake-of-barriers around doing interesting things, maximizing for the return on process in places where process is required, and similar.

When I think of things I'm dissatisfied of here, it's that we're moving too slow relative to the opportunity and that sometimes we find it difficult to say things like that.

Also, Stripe spells Internet with a lowercase i and this is *wrong*, darn it.

I’ll probably write up more considered thoughts at some point, particularly on how I think about the tradeoff of being a founder at my own thing versus being a leaf-node employee here.

That's not a trade secret; we use livegrep. (Which is amazing.)
