LocalStack - the Local Cloud Sandbox for Developers and AI Agents

We are a fast-growing Series A startup building cutting-edge technology to revolutionize cloud development processes and support highly efficient dev&test feedback loops. Weโ€™ve closed our last $25mil round in Q4 2024, led by Notable Capital, CRV and Heavybit.

LocalStack is a local cloud development platform. LocalStack makes it easier, faster, and less expensive for software teams to ship reliable, high-quality applications to the cloud.

The cloud was built to run software, not to support AI-native development workflows. As the world's leading local cloud development platform, LocalStack provides secure local sandboxes that simulate cloud environments, enabling AI agents and software developers to find and fix risks faster and more effectively than they can in the cloud.

Our customer base ranges from SMBs to Global Fortune 500 companies. Our clients include companies like NASA, Harness, IBM, Workday, Comcast, Apple, 3M, Block and many more.

We are sustainably growing our globally distributed teams across GTM, operations and engineering. In 2025 we almost doubled in size and continue to grow across all areas in 2026.

LocalStack is headquartered in Zurich/Switzerland ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ, with a small engineering office in Vienna/Austria ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น and remote team members from 25 countries including ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธthe US, ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทFR, ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งUK, ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆCA, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธES, and many more!

View company profile

Develop and test your AWS applications locally to reduce development time and increase product velocity. Reduce unnecessary AWS spend and remove the complexity and risk of maintaining AWS dev accounts.

We are a young, fast-growing start-up building cutting-edge technology to revolutionize cloud development processes and support highly efficient dev & test feedback loops. Our mission is to empower developers to rapidly build and test their cloud applications, saving valuable time and resources.

Giving Developers Control Back

At LocalStack, we believe that empowering developers and giving them full control over their environments is the key to driving innovation. We live and breathe developer experience in everything we do, and have set out to pursue the audacious goal of seamlessly integrating and complementing the centralized nature of the cloud with our suite of tools that allow developers to build decentralized dev & test loops for full flexibility, control, and unprecedented cloud development speed.

Our mission is to give developers back control over their environments and free them from wasting time with inefficient dev & test loops in the cloud, so they can instead focus on developing great products to solve the world's problems.

Why LocalStack

Our international and open-minded culture is built around inclusiveness and innovation, embracing diverse work styles and empowering every individual to grow and be their best. In our remote work environment, transparent and open communication enables self-determination, autonomy, and proactive collaboration. We strive for excellence, and take strong ownership of our work, with empathy, compassion, and a no-ego feedback culture being at our core. Proactive, and autonomous professionals who are great at what they do, are eager to grow, and embrace change, will thrive in our environment. Join us to shape the future of cloud development in a dynamic and fulfilling workplace!

What we Stand for

People first: People come first, as they are at the heart of everything we do. We're on a mission to build a product that developers love, and a workplace where everyone thrives. When people enjoy what they work on, who they work with, and how they work, productivity will follow. This is true for us just as it is for our customers.

One size does not fit all: People first also means realizing that everyone is different, and needs different things to be productive. A person may be held back in one environment, but thrive in another. The same is true for projects and how we work on them. We embrace diverse work styles and empower individuals to be their best taking all their unique strengths and weakness into account.

Through failure we learn: We are a young and growing company venturing into the unknown. Whatever we do right now may not work three months from now. We may introduce processes or tools that we think are a good idea, but turn out not to work. Question the status quo and put forth new ideas, backed by informed arguments. Own it when they fail! If we accept and embrace these failures, we can learn together and ultimately grow closer as a team.

Embracing distributed decision making: We believe in the power of individual ownership and distributed decision making. As a young and dynamic organization we can only scale if we have efficient mechanisms in place that prevent bottlenecks. Distributed decision making is all about trustโ€”which we can achieve by focusing on transparency, accountability, and feedback mechanisms.
