Example output for a fictional student. Your real review uses your own resume and the JD you paste.
Stripe runs SWE applications through Greenhouse with one of the most writing-quality-weighted recruiter screens in tech. A passing Stripe SWE resume hits 80+ on the parser, but the differentiator is bullet writing quality: tight, specific, no jargon. Stripe weights end-to-end project ownership and infrastructure depth higher than algorithm-puzzle skill. The widget below scores yours against the actual Stripe JD in 30 seconds.
Stripe runs every SWE application through Greenhouse, which scores resumes against the JD for keyword match, format, and section structure before a single human reads them. A bullet that reads fine to a friend can score in the 40s against the actual JD because Greenhouse matches exact phrases, models, and quantified outcomes the software engineer posting expects. Don't let the bot cut you before the recruiter ever opens the file. The widget above runs that scoring on your PDF against the Stripe JD you paste, in 30 seconds.

what the widget above takes to score your resume against the JD
The flags that drive the score and the rewrites for a Stripe software engineer application. Calibrated to what Greenhouse matches against and what a Stripe recruiter looks for in the human pass that follows.
Writing quality is the screen
Stripe is famous for weighting clear writing. Resume bullets that read like good engineering tech specs (concrete, scoped, no buzzwords) outperform bullets that read like marketing copy.
Infrastructure depth
Stripe weights infra and platform work higher than feature-shipping. Bullets about latency, durability, idempotency, distributed-transaction safety score higher than UI ones.
Payments domain bonus
Any payments, billing, fraud, ledger, or financial-systems experience moves a resume to the top. Surface it explicitly even if it was a side project.
Idempotency and reliability language
Stripe SWE JDs name "idempotent", "exactly-once", "graceful degradation", "blast radius" as keywords. Adding these to relevant bullets signals payments-systems thinking.
Open-source contribution weight
Stripe weights public contributions to popular OSS (Ruby, Go, Sorbet, their own repos) heavily. A merged PR to a well-known library is a strong signal.
Bullet length discipline
Stripe-style writing prefers 18-22 word bullets that end on a measurable outcome. Long flowery bullets read as low signal.
Greenhouse-safe layout
Greenhouse is more lenient than Workday. PDFs parse cleanly. Two-column layouts work but single-column is still safer.
1. Upload your resume
Drop the PDF you would submit to Stripe. 10MB max, text-based PDF only (Greenhouse cannot parse images).
2. Paste the Stripe JD
Either the full JD text or the URL of the posting on stripe.com / LinkedIn. The score is tailored to that exact JD.
3. Review the line-by-line edits
Critical, notable, and polish edits are grouped by severity. Each shows the original bullet, the rewrite, and why the rewrite is stronger.
4. Download your improved PDF
Click Apply on the rewrites you want. The right-side preview rebuilds the PDF live as you accept edits, ready to submit.
NOT APPLYING YET?
New ATS keyword drops for each Stripe JD, deadline changes, and the specific resume mistakes that get cut in the first pass.
Stripe explicitly weights the application form responses higher than the cover letter for SWE. If a cover letter slot exists in the application, write 200-280 words that read like a thoughtful engineering email; do not write marketing copy.
Stripe uses Greenhouse for most engineering hiring. Greenhouse is friendlier than Workday on format but the recruiter screen is famous for weighting writing quality.
Very. Stripe is one of the few tech companies that uses take-home assignments for new-grad and intern roles. Your resume gets you to the take-home; the take-home gets you to onsites.
No, but any payments, billing, ledger, or financial-systems experience moves you to the top of the pile. Surface it even if it was a side project.
Google weights breadth-and-depth across systems courses and named-system experience. Stripe weights writing quality and infra depth. The resume reads differently for the two even with the same underlying experience.
Mentioning that you have read a Stripe Press book (High Growth Handbook, The Dream Machine, Working in Public) in a cover letter or application form response signals genuine interest. Do not overdo it.
Stripe employees can refer at any point in the funnel. Use Offerloop's Find feature to identify Stripe engineers from your university and send a cold email asking for 15 minutes plus a referral.
We keep the parsed text long enough to send you the report. The PDF is processed in memory and not retained.
