- Strong jQuery and vanilla Javascript
- Development knowledge of MySQL – our CTPO will act as DBA for now
- Of course, you’ll need a working knowledge of HTML, CSS

- Provide timely technical support for our existing and rapidly growing customer base
- Scoping, prioritising and developing new features and modules from our development backlog

Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Originally designed as a mentoring platform known as Mentorjam, StellarUp has since developed into a suite of community management tools, group learning, and other knowledge-sharing capabilities for businesses and entrepreneurs.
StellarUp has been especially popular with non-profits and government initiatives which have included the United Nations Foundation and Konstanz University in Germany. In a business world that is increasingly digitised, HR challenges arise with the broad amount of information that must be circulated. StellarUp helps with the organisation and community knowledge-sharing side of this.
With seed funding awarded in 2023, it will be interesting to see how StellarUp evolves over time. The knowledge-sharing market includes platforms such as Slack, which has many more years of experience in the communications platform sector. However, the focus on non-profits and governmental bodies could well give StellarUp a leg up.
