I interviewed for Stripe Atlas and passed, but the team's saying they only want Staff SE now, so I have to do team matching. My recruiter recommended the "Support Products" and "Data Migration" teams, but they both sound boring.

Can anyone recommend a team?

I want good WLB. 🏖️
With modern tech stacks like Node, TypeScript, React, and/or Rust. 🥵
NOT RUBY, NOT JAVA. 🤮

    All three of your requirements are not a good fit for Stripe. You should look elsewhere

      Thanks for the info guys, do you know if they use React/TypeScript for frontend at least?

      Yes. All legacy Flow was moved to Typescript recently. Most frontend is React based.

    These seem like the dogmatic opinions of a junior engineer. Sure, some languages are better than others. But it’s more about design patterns and engineering principles. That’s why companies hire without really caring what language you’ve used in the past

    I’ll never understand the hate on Ruby. It’s a great and enjoyable language.

    You seriously don’t look like a good fit for Stripe

    Basically all the frontend development is React + TS, but most developers here end up doing at least a tiny bit of backend (Ruby or Java). All the edge infrastructure stuff is in Go, if that appeals to you.

    Not sure what makes you think Node and Rust are all that can be modern backend stacks though, that seems like a pretty immature take

      Thanks for the info, Go sounds nicer than Ruby but I don't like infra. I'll see if my recruiter can get me something with more of a frontend focus.

      It is an immature take, I haven't had much exposure to large companies' codebases. I just know that out of all of the backend languages I've used, I've enjoyed TypeScript and Rust the most.

      I thought I'd hate Ruby and Java too, but most of my Ruby work has actually been quite enjoyable once I got used to it, and Java has it's disadvantages but as much as I hate to say it, it definitely has real advantages in a large company's codebase
