About Us

We're engineers building for engineers

Stackflow started because we were tired of duct-taping six tools together to ship software. So we built the platform we wished we had.

The origin story

In 2022, Alex and Jade were running platform engineering at a fast-growing startup. Their team used Jira for planning, GitHub for code, Jenkins for CI, PagerDuty for incidents, and Slack for everything else. Context was scattered across five tabs and three Slack channels.

They built an internal tool to unify it. Within weeks, other teams were asking for access. Within months, engineers at other companies were asking if they could use it too.

Stackflow launched publicly in early 2024. Today, over 10,000 engineering teams use it to automate workflows, manage projects, and ship software with fewer tools and less friction.

What we believe

Four principles that guide every decision we make.

Engineer-first

We build for developers because we are developers. Every feature ships with an API, a CLI command, and keyboard shortcuts.

Radical transparency

Public roadmap, open changelog, and honest status pages. We share what we're building, what's broken, and what we're learning.

Ship then iterate

Perfect is the enemy of shipped. We release early, gather feedback, and improve fast. Every feature starts as a beta.

Remote by default

Async communication, documented decisions, and no meeting that could've been a Loom. Our team spans 8 time zones.

Meet the team

8 people, 8 time zones, one mission: make shipping software less painful.
