About LocalStack
What is LocalStack?
LocalStack is the world's leading local cloud development platform — a high-fidelity emulator that lets teams develop and test AWS applications entirely on their laptops and in CI, no cloud bill or shared staging chaos required (with Snowflake emulation shipping and Azure on the way). Born as an open-source project in 2016 and now a commercial company, it closed a $25M round in late 2024 led by Notable Capital, CRV and Heavybit, and counts customers "from SMBs to Global Fortune 500" — NASA, IBM, Workday, Apple and Block among them. In its own words: "In 2025 we almost doubled in size."
Where will I work?
Anywhere: "Fully remote" leads its benefits list, with the company "headquartered in Zurich/Switzerland, with a small engineering office in Vienna/Austria and remote team members from 25 countries."
What is the LocalStack team like?
Around 100 developer-tools people building for other developers — open-source DNA, community guilds, online company events and an annual all-company retreat.
Work-Life Balance
Its job descriptions state the package plainly: "Fully remote · Competitive salary · Unlimited PTO · 401k and private medical" — plus a detail we like: "2 extra company-wide holidays", collective days off that no individual has to dare to take.
Perks and Benefits
- Unlimited PTO plus 2 extra company-wide holidays
- Fully remote across 25 countries; Zurich HQ + Vienna office
- Annual company retreat
- 401(k) and private medical
- Open-source-rooted engineering culture with community guilds
How we verified this listing
Six of LocalStack's eight live postings on its own Ashby board carried the identical benefits block when we listed it, and the careers site's values pages corroborate the remote-first structure. The two company-wide extra holidays matter for how we read the unlimited policy — scheduled collective rest is the strongest guard against unlimited-PTO ambiguity. Review-site ratings were unreachable at add time (every surface bot-walled), disclosed as with this whole cohort; the listing rests on the company's own written commitments across its board.
