About Makersite
What is Makersite?
Makersite GmbH is a German software company that sells product lifecycle and sustainability data software to manufacturers. Its about page says Makersite "empowers companies to manage product sustainability, cost, and compliance" and "uses artificial intelligence and graph technology to build digital twins of manufactured products". A company press release of 14 April 2026 says "Founded in 2018 by CEO Neil D’Souza, the Germany-based company has a team of over 170 employees" and names "major corporations such as Microsoft, Schneider Electric, Cummins, and Siemens" among its customers. On funding, a July 2025 release says the company secured EUR 60 million in Series B funding, co-led by Lightrock and Partech and joined by SE Ventures, after an earlier $18M round led by Hitachi Ventures and Translink Capital. In 2026 Makersite bought SiGREEN, Siemens' product carbon footprint and supplier data exchange platform. The platform was renamed Mattermaps in a 4 June 2026 announcement and, according to the company, "will continue to operate as a standalone product data exchange platform".
Where will I work?
The legal notice gives a registered office in Stuttgart (Königstraße 43b, 70173 Stuttgart), and the contact page lists a second office at Wielandstraße 5 in Berlin. The careers page says "Our offices are located in Stuttgart and Berlin" and its "Remote Working" benefit says "Work 100% remote if you like." On 13 November 2026 the Recruitee board held five adverts, all tagged remote and none hybrid or on-site, and the careers page shows "Remote" as the work model for each. The adverts still limit where you can live. Three of them (the EU Presales Engineer and both Enterprise Account Executive roles) ask for "Residing in and legally permitted to work in the EU.", the Senior Site Reliability Engineer advert says applicants "will need to reside in Germany with legal working permits or residence permits", and the US Presales Engineer advert asks for "Residing in and legally permitted to work in the US (East Coast and Central US specifically)." The EU and German adverts add "Work from anywhere in the EU, with the option to collaborate in person at our offices in Stuttgart, Berlin (role dependent)" (the German advert says anywhere in Germany), while the US advert offers an option to "work from our Chicago office 2-3 days a week, with flexibility for remote work".
What is the Makersite team like?
The five open roles sit in two functions: four in Sales (an English-speaking Enterprise Account Executive for UKI/Nordics, a French-speaking Enterprise Account Executive for France, Benelux and Southern Europe, and two Presales Engineer (Costing) roles, one for the EU and one for the US) and one in Technology (Senior Site Reliability Engineer). The careers page names three values, Diversity, Purpose and Collaboration, and describes collaboration as "No politics, no drama, no slacking. We believe in face-to-face and technology-enabled collaboration." The adverts describe "a team that’s open, transparent, and international". The hiring process has three conversations: a first call with the People Team, a manager's interview, and a final chat with the CEO. On pace, the two Presales adverts and the Site Reliability Engineer advert say "We're a fast-growing, innovative company", both Presales adverts ask for someone "Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving software environment", both Account Executive adverts set an annual revenue target of EUR 1.1M once ramped, and the Site Reliability Engineer advert includes a pager duty rotation.
Work-Life Balance
Flexibility over when people work is stated in all five adverts read on 13 November 2026. The careers page lists a "Flexible Schedule" benefit that reads "We focus on what gets done, not how much you work on it." All five adverts say "As a remote-first company, we trust you to do your best work, your way. You have the flexibility to work when it suits you, ensuring a healthy balance between personal and professional life." The adverts also spell out limits to that promise. The US advert says "Successful applicants will be expected to work East Coast hours.", both Presales adverts ask for "demonstrating flexibility in working hours, communication and collaboration" and for someone who is "comfortable supporting international teams and customers across different time zones", and the Site Reliability Engineer advert lists the duty "Participate in an off-duty or pager duty rotation to provide round-the-clock system reliability and support". No page or advert states core hours, a required overlap window or weekly hours, and none uses the word async. Annual leave is 30 days of paid time off on the careers page and in the four EU and German adverts, and 25 days of PTO in the US advert; no page says whether public holidays are on top, and none says leave is unlimited.
