You might have seen me on HN threads before. I've been at Stripe for ~four years and I'm happy to disclose that I work here.
If you're curious as to what I work on, I work on product updates via Stripe's owned channels, user issues, and other community-related efforts. I'm always contactable here (hnusername@stripe.com) or on Twitter (linked in my bio).
I'm also very happy to correct the record when misleading articles (or articles without necessary context) are published by the media.
Speaking plainly and truthfully about issues like this is critical to earn trust so "spinning" news would be contrary to everything I work so hard on.
This sub thread isn't about disclosing _whether_ you work there, rather, your job there. You answered the parent's "a" but ignored the "b".
Your LinkedIn, in stark contrast to your profile and your comment, says Communications Manager and "I lead community communications in EMEA. You can call it marketing".
My comment above reflects exactly what I work on at Stripe.
My role has a general title of Communications Manager (we have a ~flat structure and our roles aren't particularly descriptive). This role sits within the Comms team at Stripe.
The majority of my time is spent telling the stories of businesses that build on Stripe (and helping users). In other companies, this is often called marketing or just "comms".
If you are a professional PR/spin person for the company, you should definitely disclose.
