Company mission
To help engineering teams build, ship, and maintain software better than ever. We believe that developer portals are the linchpin to a successful developer experience.
2% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
New compound titles like DevOps, DevSecOps, and the rise of Shifting Left have developers involved in far more operational complexity than ever before. With developer talent relatively thin on the ground, burnout and high turnover is not one that employers can run. Nor can companies afford to have overworked developers compromising on software security. OpsLevel’s developer portal offers a suite of microservices designed to reduce the time developers spend on rote work, as well as simplifying and centralizing crucial operations.
The need for tools and platforms like this that help to rapidly build and scale software is increasingly crucial. So we’re seeing a lot of developer productivity tools crop up - and the market begin to swell to over $50B globally. This gives OpsLevel a lot of room to grow, even with giants like Amazon joining the scene.
OpsLevel’s founders bring a substantial amount of on-the-ground experience to their product, and have crafted a portal used by top-level customers like Duolingo, Hootsuite, and zapier. In a market that’s looking strong, it's holding its own - and growing fast.
