About us

Built by engineers who were tired of guessing.

Stein started as an internal tool for our own engineering team. We were tired of standups and status meetings that only existed to answer one question — "are we on track?" Now every team on Stein gets that answer without the meeting.

Small team, sharp focus

We stay small on purpose. Every person on the team shapes the product directly — there's no layer between using Stein and building it.

Remote-first, always

Our team works from wherever they think best, across time zones. Async by default, meetings only when they'd actually save time.

We watch usage, not surveys

We build from what teams actually do inside Stein every day — not just what they say in a satisfaction score once a quarter.

2024 founded by engineers who'd spent years running on-call for teams of 200+

— still a small team, on purpose
