Stackable | Product Engineer - Web & UI | Remote (Germany/UK) | ~20 people | Full or part-time

IMPORTANT: ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE PHYSICALLY BASED IN GERMANY OR UK! (I received almost 100 applications, about 85 of them did not read the details)

We build an open source data platform on Kubernetes. The product (Stackable Data Platform - SDP) bundles 12+ open source data tools (Trino, Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, etc.) and makes them work together. Right now everything is Infrastructure-as-Code only. We need someone to build a UI layer on top.

No mockups, no Figma, no product roadmap waiting for you I'm afraid, just a bunch of ideas :) We're all backend people and need someone to own this end to end. Play around with our product stack, figure out what customers actually need, build it.

Stack (because we got started without you...): Svelte/SvelteKit, TypeScript, TailwindCSS. SDP itself is Rust, Java, Python on K8s. Three releases a year. Not SaaS. Quality matters.

100% remote, Germany (UK possible) only, no other countries, sorry. No Scrum, minimal meetings. Interview process is usually just two conversations. The position isn't on our homepage yet as I'm on vacation. Send a mail to recruiting@stackable.tech and I'll get back to you next week. Please mention HN in your mail. My personal mail is also in my HN profile. I'm the Co-founder and CTO.

3 releases a year? Should think about increasing that...


It's not us. It's the customers that struggle with the pace already. In the enterprise world we operate in having more than one release a year is already considered breakneck speed.


Every day we stray further from the light of our lord and savior, Dr. Nicole Forsgren...


No Ireland? Why?


Because of bureacratic overhead. We did employee people from other EU countries in the past because I personally honestly don't care where someone is from or where someone lives. But you need to learn the rules of every country. And they are often subtly different. We even struggle with UK & Germany already. It's annoying. And we have like 0,1 FTE to take care of HR stuff and anything "out of the ordinary" eats into that time and money budget.

The rules need to change. The rules will not change. So we're stuck.


Interesting project, good luck.


Thank you :)
