Why work at StackShare? Here are some of the reasons why we feel this is a special opportunity for the right person:

  • You’ll help create a brand new developer tool category (tech stack intelligence) with a brand that over 1M developers know and trust
  • You’ll interface directly with engineering teams at Fortune 500 companies that operate at the largest scale
  • You’ll have real input into product decisions and help drive product strategy by working closely with the leadership team (CEO, CTO, Head of Business Development, and Product Manager)
  • You’ll report directly to our CEO, who has been leading Customer Success for the past year

Here’s some specifics about the role:

  • Competitive salary
  • Fully remote
  • No visa sponsorship at this time

Title is flexible based on relevant work experience. If you are looking to be a senior / lead / director, let’s talk about it. Don’t hesitate to ask or let us know what you need.

We offer the following to all of our employees:

  • Flexible and family-friendly working arrangements
  • Excellent medical and dental benefits
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Your dream hardware, software, and conferencing set up
  • Paid courses, books, and professional development

We’re a fully remote team, with the majority of the core team based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The well-being of StackSharers is very important to us. If you tell us what you need to be happy and successful, we’ll try our best to accommodate.

Our Team

We’re supported by an amazing group of investors including Headline (e.ventures), Cervin Ventures, Precursor Ventures, 500 Startups, Citi Ventures, as well as angels like Zach Holman, Quinn Slack (CEO of Sourcegraph), Chris Nguyen (Co-founder of LogDNA), John Kim (CEO of Sendbird), Nick Rockwell, Baron Davis, and engineers/leaders from GitHub, Stripe, Facebook, Square, Twitter, Salesforce, Google, Dropbox, Airbnb, and more.

We’re a Series A-stage company (raised $10M in total) that has built up a community of over one million developers with less than 10 employees. Our company is distributed with most of us in the San Francisco Bay Area and teammates in India. All roles are remote with no requirement that you work from an office. We value having a sense of urgency, empathy, resourcefulness, taking ownership, and tactfulness.

Our leadership team has experience at Amazon, eBay, Accenture, and Outbrain and has been working together at StackShare for over 3 years now.

What we’re building

StackShare is building community-driven SaaS. Like many open source companies, StackShare started out building a community and then built an enterprise SaaS offering based on what the community asked for. We’re now building the world’s first Tech Stack Intelligence solution to help companies of all sizes address tech sprawl inside their organizations.

Sales professionals used to have no system to coordinate their efforts before the CRM came along. They'd accidentally call the same leads, couldn't easily track their funnel, and had no way to know who to talk to internally about which customers. Similarly, while there are plenty of tools for developers to manage and discuss code (GitLab, Stack Overflow, etc), engineers and architects have had no system of record to capture technology decisions.

StackShare is creating a new category of business software that every company with developers will need: tech stack intelligence. There’s no other product in the market that compares. Our competition is Excel spreadsheets, Confluence wikis, and Markdown files. Announced on stage at GitHub’s annual conference in December 2020, the product is now gaining adoption amongst large companies that already have a presence on StackShare.

Developer-driven software is projected to be a $1 trillion market. Atlassian and GitHub have built multi-billion dollar businesses by providing collaboration software for technical teams, but they’ve left a gap in the market that StackShare is now filling.

If you want to be a part of creating something new that will eventually be used by every company in the world that employs software developers, this might be the right opportunity for you.

Why we’re building it

Our mission is to make developers more productive by helping them learn about technology through the people and companies they trust. Eventually we believe that no developer in the world will make a technology decision without first checking StackShare, to see what others are using inside (private) and outside (public) of their company.
