Stacker
Turns spreadsheets into internal apps and customer portals
Product Engineer (Europe Only)
About the role
Our Mission
We're on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a platform to let you instantly create apps from the data you already have. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems.
About the role
If you're a product-focussed engineer, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.
- You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.
- You'll be building a backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.
- You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.
- You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.
Our stack is a React frontend, Python backend. Postgres, Memcached, Elasticsearch and everything running on docker/k8s. Experience in React is necessary, but everything else is a bonus.
About You
We're looking for someone who's about more than just writing software. You should should expect to spend as much time thinking about the tough product problems as the tough technical problems.You should should love about thinking about things from the point of view of the user, and enjoy working out how a particular feature fits within our overall product strategy.If that sounds like you, then apply!
Why Europe Only? Stacker is a fully remote company but is based in Europe. We like to have the possibility to meet up a few times a year and have our timezones aligned. We are only hiring within Europe at the moment.
About Stacker
Mission-Oriented People Wanted
We've got a big mission: we want to give everybody the ability to create software, whether they can code or not. And it's no secret that we've got a long way to go to get there. That's why we're not looking for consultants, contractors or general mercenaries. If you're passionate about making change in the world, this might be the place for you. 🚀
We're Solving Hard Problems. Really.
We know, we know: basically every tech startup says this. But I think we've got a pretty decent claim.
We're building an app runtime that lets you specify an entire app in a bunch of JSON config and have it run as a real-time single page app.
We're taking the features common across all web apps and turning them into installable modules that work seamlessly together.
We're trying to not only create one product that is intuitive and beautiful, but a flexible design-system to allow our users to build apps that are beautiful by default and are customisable to the finest level.
And that's all before breakfast. 💪
We've Made A Start, But It's Still Early.
This isn't some mad dream. We've already made a great start. We have hundreds of organizations using Stacker apps today that they've created themselves, and we've just got funded by Initialized Capital.
However, we are still really early (currently 4 engineers). This is the right time to join to have a profound impact on how we take this to the next level.
Come And Work From Wherever You Are
We've always been a remote team — not corona-remote but remote by choice.
We get together three or four times per year, but apart from that, we do all our work remotely, via Slack, Notion, and Zoom. We like it that way.
Whatever Your Background
We want to build a team with as diverse perspectives, skills, passions and backgrounds as we can.
We're not worried about the number of years you've worked or how much formal education you've had. We're looking for bright, kind and passionate people who care about bringing the power of software to the world.
👉If you're excited about our mission, but worried that you don't have enough experience, or won't fit in, please apply anyway! 👈
