They can certainly apply as part of your team! Though you should give some thought ahead of time as to what their roles would be at Stripe. We're not currently hiring for the roles of CEO or CTO ;).

Yup. This is one of our few remaining unsharded databases (legacy problems...), so we can't easily canary a fraction of serving capacity. However, one clear remediation we can implement easily is to have our tooling change a replica fi

This is indeed a tricky balance. We want developers to iterate quickly, but we also want to understand the impact of production changes. With a small team and small sets of data, it's easy for everyone to understand the impact of chang

The food benefit isn't taxed. To get the same $3,750 food benefit via salary, your employer would have to pay you $5,000-$6,000 more in salary.

I've found there are two very different worlds of software development. For convenience, I'll label them the "Microsoft" world, and the "Open Source" world. (The labels aren't completely accurate, but I th

Luckily for him, he's working for himself. I can find that out with a couple of Google queries and a LinkedIn profile. But I have no idea whether you work for yourself, for someone else, or whether you're a hiring manager.

It's not about risk, it's about overcoming obstacles. Dealing with US visas is a pain, but it's nowhere near as painful as everything else you need to do to make a startup succeed. If you're going to give up because of a
