I checked out the list of remote engineering jobs after reading your (fascinating) article but unfortunately they all seem to be restricted to North America. Is this a time zone issue or a legal issue? Are there plans to expand remote jobs to other regions (like Europe)?
As time goes to infinity we plan on having Stripes building products very close to as many of our customers as possible, which is (much) more widely distributed than the status quo, which is (much) more widely distributed than open recs on any given Monday. There will be more on this subject coming later.
> Stripe is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in Dublin, London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo, and more
That's probably the countries where they can hire remotely. It would seems in my experience with other companies that even if they don't advertise non-US remote roles (probably to prevent a large influx of applications from all over the world, most of which invalid due to no-offices there) they will accept candidates that are better than the US counterparts (but still US-based workers have an advantage).
