Stripe employs roughly 7,900 people around the world. Over the most recent 12-month period the company added close to 1,500 new employees while 668 departed, resulting in net growth of a little more than 10 percent. Hiring outpaced attrition across most functions, signaling continued investment in product expansion and global operations.
Engineering is Stripe’s largest team with about 3,350 employees, accounting for just over two-fifths of total headcount and underscoring the firm’s focus on building and maintaining its payments infrastructure. The next-largest groups are Marketing & Product (1,089) and Sales & Support (1,026), which together support user acquisition and customer success. Finance & Administration (648) and Operations (384) provide essential internal services, while Business Management, Human Resources, IT, and Risk & Compliance collectively represent fewer than 20 percent of employees. This distribution shows a technology-centric organization balanced by customer-facing and governance functions.
Stripe’s workforce is spread across major tech and financial hubs. The San Francisco Bay Area hosts the largest contingent at roughly 1,100 employees, followed by New York City and Seattle with just under 900 each. Chicago, Dublin, Singapore, Bengaluru, and London range from 200 to 450 staff members apiece, supporting regional market coverage and engineering centers. The Austin office and a sizable remote cohort categorized as “Other” round out the global footprint, illustrating a flexible approach to talent placement.
