At Stackable, we are people who like to make things happen independently and who want to create great things together as a team.

What do you think our customers value about Stackable and the whole team?
Many of the people involved in Stackable have been in the market for many years and have built up a corresponding network. I think both customers and partners as well as market companions know about this expertise and experience and appreciate it very much.
Why did you decide to become part of the Stackable team?
Mainly because I knew that I could work on future technologies here together with excellent people. Well, fortunately both of these things have come true. 😉

The work at Stackable is challenging and diverse. It requires flexibility, but also the ability to dive deep into new topics and technologies. It encourages personal development to a great extent, which has always been important to me in my work.

Fully remote
We are convinced that everyone in our team does great work, regardless of who is currently located where. That’s why we consistently work “remote first”, which is how we were able to recruit outstanding experts for our team beyond Germany’s borders very early on. Working remotely doesn’t stop us from being in touch with each other, though: We meet daily in virtual space, communicate via various channels and regularly organize virtual and face-to-face team events. For business meetings – whether among ourselves or with our clients and partners – we can use office space at six locations in Germany.
