Stripe plans to add 200 engineering and marketing jobs at its Dublin headquarters, following reported increases in revenue and profit.

Stripe announced on 1 October plans to create 200 jobs at its Dublin headquarters, adding to its workforce in Ireland.
What happened
The roles will include engineering and marketing positions, according to reports on the company’s plans. Stripe was founded by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison and has its headquarters in Dublin, making the expansion directly relevant to Ireland’s technology workforce.
The announcement follows the filing of company accounts that showed an increase in revenue and profit. No figures for the new roles, their timing or the split between engineering and marketing were given in the reports.
Stripe is a payments company with a reported valuation of $159bn. The Dublin hiring plan is an expansion of its existing local operation rather than a new market entry.
Why it matters
Two hundred additional jobs would be material for Dublin’s technology sector, particularly because engineering and marketing staff are among the roles sought by financial technology companies operating in Ireland. The hiring also gives Stripe a larger local footprint as the business reports higher revenue and profit.
The announcement is relevant beyond Stripe itself. Recruitment at this scale affects competing employers seeking similar staff, as well as the suppliers and service firms that support the company’s Dublin operation. The reports did not provide further detail on pay, recruitment dates or the total size of Stripe’s Irish workforce.
