Every developer has a tab open on Stack Overflow.  

We are one of the most popular websites in the world - a community-based space focused on increasing productivity, decreasing cycle times, accelerating time to market, and protecting institutional knowledge. 

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We embrace collaboration, transparency, and believe in leading with empathy; creating an environment where every Stacker knows they belong. We embrace that the unique contributions and points of view of all Stackers contribute to our success.

We are a Best Company to Work For, in addition to being recognized for Best Company Leadership, Best Company Happiness, Best Company Perks and Benefits, Best Company Work-Life Balance, Best Company Compensation, and Best Company Outlook.

We are a remote-first company with Hiring HUBs based in the US, Canada, UK, and Germany.

At Stack Overflow, our mission is to empower the world’s developers. Every day, millions of developers come to us to get answers to their programming questions, collaborate better with their teams, and find their next dream job. As the world continues to transform with technology as a leading force, we’re driven to make Stack Overflow a place where everyone who codes feels welcome to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.

As a full-stack software developer at Stack Overflow, you’ll join a cross-disciplinary team of developers, designers, and product managers working on new and existing features while supporting existing product tiers. The contributions you’ll make will have a far-reaching impact and help shape the future of the world’s largest community of developers. Some recent projects we've been working on include:

  • OverflowAI experience which includes: Enhanced Search, TIDE IDE Extension for VS Code, as well as Slack/MS Teams integrations with options for auto-answer.
  • Improved Subject Matter Expert identification and assignment where users are automatically recognized for their contributions to topics within their teams.  This empowers our users to drive more content creation and engagement to their coworkers.
  • Scalably deployed new machine learning search functionality into our SOE customers for improved search relevance.

You'll work primarily in our main tech stack of C#, ASP.NET, and Microsoft SQL Server, with supporting technologies like Redis, k8s, Helm, and IaC. If you’re not familiar with our specific tech stack, we'll pair you with mentors who will help you bridge the gaps. As a company dedicated to increasing developer knowledge, we’ll give you the resources and support you need to develop mastery in your craft. 

Skills and Requirements

We expect to see:

  • Strong programming skills in your language of choice (not necessarily ours) and a track record of working collaboratively to deliver alongside your team.
  • 5+ year(s) of full-stack web development experience with any major server-side stack, relational database, and modern front-end (JS, HTML, CSS). Experience in our stack is a plus, but not a requirement.
  • 1+ year(s) of experience with containers, k8s, Helm, and Azure.
  • Experience being agile, where continuous improvement is a fundamental principle to empowering the team to deliver.
  • Prior experience developing software solutions for companies and/or end users. You've built features and fixed bugs for a commercial product offering before.
  • Self-motivating, self-directing, and a great communicator (written and oral). This does not mean that you need to speak or write English perfectly!
  • Willing to bring your expertise to the team through education and pairing in order to raise the skills of everyone.
  • Excellent problem solving skills. You excel at analyzing and solving problems using technology.
  • Living and working within GMT-5:00 (East Coast US) to GMT (UK) time zones.


We like to see (but not required):

  • Experience working remotely and/or working with teams that are distributed geographically.
  • Experience with outcome based working where your team is empowered to deliver through owning the solution and affecting the success metrics.
  • Experience mentoring less-experienced developers. You know how to build skills and teach others in an empathetic and kind way.
  • Experience with building scalably deployed software solutions into cloud environments. Skills working with large amounts of data, feature flagging, and A/B testing of features are a plus.
  • An active Stack Overflow profile, open source code, example projects that you're proud of (whether open source or worked on at a previous job), or any other evidence of your passion for building great software.
  • Knowledge of how Stack Overflow works from our blog and podcasts.

Work Environment

We’re a remote-friendly team. You’ll be part of a remote work culture that emphasizes online communication (Slack, GitHub, Hangouts, Zoom, Stack Overflow for Teams). While we’re generally very flexible on working hours, living and working within GMT-5:00 to GMT time zones (US through UK) is required for scheduling and interaction with your team and support staff who assist our customers. We also believe in strong work-life balance and are focused on making sure that everyone finds a good balance, whether in-office or remotely.


US Salary Banding - $130,000 - $170,000

UK Salary Banding - £70,000 - £104,000

What you’ll get in return:

  • Competitive Base Salary 
  • Generous paid vacation
  • Generous parental leave (16 weeks at 100% pay), family care leave, and unlimited sick days
  • Equity for all employees at all levels
  • Industry-leading health benefits that are applicable per country of residence for all our full-time employees
  • Company-paid Life Insurance
  • Home Internet stipend
  • Professional allocation for your growth and development
  • One-time allowance to assist with your home office setup
  • Company-paid access to Calm, Bravely, LinkedIn Learning, MyAcademy and Overdrive

Stack Overflow is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We value diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging and these pillars are at the heart of how we work together here at Stack. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or any other applicable legally protected characteristics in the location in which the candidate is applying. 

For individuals based in California, and other locations where required, we will consider employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
