Although they are particularly picky at the moment, which makes sense given the situation.

Anecdotally, I couldn't get an interview, even though I had an offer from them in the past.

Hello! Do you have plans for more new grad positions?

How many headcount do you have open for SRE?

Stripe doesn’t make the distinction between software engineers and SREs that some firms do. We’re all responsible for shipping things that work for our customers, regardless of whether we’re working on a product team or an infrastructure team.

You can see our open roles at https://stripe.com/jobs/search?t=engineering (some corresponding to multiple people). They’re very real. We hire hundreds of engineers every year.

Thanks for the info about the team structure Patrick! Hope you're staying safe out there

I should point out that the way you phrased it sounds very much like "Yeah, you're gonna carry a pager and like it. Deal with it." This, if true, entirely disqualifies Stripe for me as a potential employee; I am not interested in ever being on call, unless I'm getting an absurd slice of the upside that a company Stripe's size is not offering.

Do you want to clarify your phrasing or is that actually how you operate? :(
