There are 212 job openings listed on Stripe's careers page as either located in the United States or remote. Of those, 17 are remote (~8%) & the rest are not. So even excluding non-US listings, it's a small percentage -- Seattle has ~30%, SF has ~50%, NYC has ~11%.
Even though a single job listing can/does represent multiple job openings, that's true for all the listings as well. So all other things being equal, I would expect Stripe to have way more remote listings if it's been as successful as this post implies. Which leads me to believe the reality is much more nuanced and that the blog post is a bit heavy with PR fluff (no shame!).
Also, big fan.
- kasey_junk 6y agoIts worth noting that this article is about the Stripe remote _engineering_ hub. Stripe intentionally scaled its engineering presence remote first. There are remote Stripes in other parts of the company but this post was about the concerted effort to hire engineers remotely. Further as patio11 mentions downthread that the math on this is hard to diagnose from the outside. I don’t have any specific information about this but I wouldn’t be surprised if the single job title “Infrastructure Engineer - Remote” will be hired into more than all engineering roles in NYC. The numbers from the blogpost “ Over the last year, we’ve tripled the number of permanently remote engineers, up to 22% of our engineering population.“ is a fairly straightforward way to read the posting about this. Disclaimer, I am a “Infrastructure Engineer - Remote” at Stripe.
- patio11 6y agoI'm pretty confident that we made only true claims, particularly the ones with numbers. If your model doesn't agree with our SQL, I think the maximally polite observation I can make is that one of us is probably wrong.
