Backends, data, and the unglamorous parts that decide whether a product survives its second month. Twelve years of shipping things that stay up.
About Stackern
Two engineers who ship like a team of ten.
We started Stackern because the best software we'd ever built happened in small rooms with short conversations — and we wanted to work that way on purpose.
What we believe
Most software is slow to build because too many people stand between the idea and the code.
We removed the layers. When you work with Stackern, you work with the two engineers writing the code — directly, every day. No account managers sitting between you and the people building your product.
That constraint is the point. A small senior team can hold an entire product in its head, move fast without breaking trust, and leave you with something you fully own. AI lets two people cover the ground that used to take a department. We use it to move faster, never to pad the bill.
The team

Principal engineer — product & AI
Interfaces, product engineering, and AI features that earn their place. The person who makes the thing feel fast and obvious to use.
How we operate
Two engineers. No bench.
You talk to the people writing the code. There is no project manager in between and no junior doing the work while a senior reviews it.
Cut first, build second.
Before we write code, we argue about what to cut. The scope we agree on is what gets built properly — not a prototype you replace after the raise.
Your code from day one.
Everything lives in your repository under your account. No proprietary tools, no platform lock-in. When we're done, your next hire inherits something they can understand.
AI where it earns it.
We use AI to move faster and build things that would otherwise take weeks. We don't use it to dress up what we're charging you for.
Open for new builds
Let's build the thing.
