How to get referred at Stripe

  1. Step 1

    Find the exact role

    Open the job on stripe.com and copy the job link and job ID. Referrers can only submit you for a specific opening.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the right referrer

    Choose a verified Stripe employee. Someone in the same team or function can speak to your fit more credibly.

  3. Step 3

    Send a focused request

    Attach a resume tailored to the role and a three- or four-line note on why you fit. Lead with experience that matches what Stripe tests, such as Practical Debugging & Bug Squashing Interviews and API Design & Backward Compatibility.

  4. Step 4

    Get referred and track it

    Once they accept and you pay, they submit you through Stripe's internal referral portal and upload proof. Your payment is held until that proof is in.

Stripe tip: Stripe interviews are practical, not puzzle-based. Practise debugging unfamiliar code and integrating with real APIs in your own editor.
