Schedule

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

• In-office expectations: Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This balances in-person collaboration and flexibility.
• Working remotely at Stripe: A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you may come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, the expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location.
