Helpful Information:
This resource will help explain Stride’s Compensation Philosophy and compensation practices, and will answer some common questions you might have.
Stride’s Compensation Philosophy utilizes a National Payscale, which is designed to fairly and equitably pay employees based on their performance and impact regardless of geographic location. For employees in the United States, our National Payscale leverages San Francisco Bay Area market data to determine our compensation bands for cash, commissions, or bonus (if applicable) and equity.
Unless otherwise noted, the cash compensation above is the total salary and does not include a bonus. In addition to cash compensation, all full-time Striders will be given stock options to participate in Stride’s equity incentive program. We want all Striders to be an owner of the company, value that ownership, and be able to participate in any future positive outcomes for the company.
Individual compensation packages are based on a few different factors unique to each candidate, including their skills, experience, qualifications, and other job-related reasons. Our compensation ranges are designed to be competitive, equitable, and growth-oriented.
We know that benefits are also an important piece of your total compensation package. To learn more about what’s included in total compensation, check out some of the benefits and perks Stride offers to all US-based employees.
At Stride, we believe in compensating Striders in ways that are true to their value in the marketplace, that inspire and motivate the team to execute our vision, that shape behavior toward productively building and sustaining Stride's culture, and that support the risks and rewards of a fast-growing technology company.
We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing. This can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you!
Stride is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
What We Do
Hi, we're Stride! Today, 60 million Americans work independently, and that trend is only accelerating. But benefits are tightly coupled with full-time, W2-based jobs. As a result, the millions of Americans who work independently are excluded from that financial safety net.
Stride is the world’s first benefits platform built specifically for contractors, part-timers, and the self-employed. We provide them with all the same benefits you’d expect from a W2 job, like insurance (health, dental, vision & life insurance), tax support, mileage & expense tracking, and special deals & discounts on everyday expenses.
In fact, since launching in 2014, Stride has helped more than 3.5 million Americans save more than $4 billion on their benefits and taxes. We were founded in SF CA, we are a remote-first company, and have teammates all across the United States.
We partner with over 100 work platforms like Uber, Lyft, Postmates, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon, Grubhub, MasterCard, Aon, Willis Tower Watson, GoPuff, and more to help their communities of independent contractors and part-time employees get the benefits they and their families need to stay physically and financially healthy. We’re backed with over $86 million in capital by Venrock, New Enterprise Associates, Fidelity’s F-Prime Capital Partners, King River Capital, Mastercard, and Allstate.
Why Work With Us

Our diverse team of go-getters hail from all corners of the globe but are united in creating economic security for everyone who works for themselves.
