Baserow is an open-source no-code platform for databases, applications, automations. We’re a remote team across 12 countries. We’re hiring a Product Engineer to work end-to-end across the stack.
Baserow is an open-source no-code database platform (Airtable alternative) for building databases, internal apps, and workflows.
You’ll work with prospects + customers to translate real processes into Baserow solutions: data modeling (tables/relations), demos/POCs, production-ready setups, integrations/APIs, best practices, and feedback to product/engineering. Also help with docs/onboarding and first-line support for support-contract customers.
You: 2+ years with Baserow or similar (Airtable/n8n), strong English, comfortable with APIs/HTTP + basic JS/Python (SQL a plus). Bonus: enterprise workflows, git/docker (self-hosting), training content.
Founder of Baserow here. Thanks for posting this @trevorsullivan. We launched Baserow 2.0 earlier this week. More info can be found in the release blog post here: https://baserow.io/blog/baserow-2-0-release-notes. Happy to answer any questions.
Hey HN, founder of Baserow here. Since our success on Hacker News a couple of years ago, we've grown from a no-code database into a full-stack no-code platform. It's now possible to create databases, applications, automations, and dashboards via the no-code interface and with Kuma, our AI-assistant.
We believe in a platform with a conversational agent that can build complete software solutions, like Lovable, while also having a flexible no-code interface to make changes manually. This gives the builder the opportunity to get started quickly, have insights in what happens under the hood, and have the ability to make changes, without writing code.
Because of our open background, full self-hosting capability, API-first approach, integrations, and enterprise grade security, it makes modern no-code tools accessible to industries that were previously forced to work with expensive off the shelf solution with long implementation time.
Today, we're launching Baserow 2.0 that introduces our AI-assistant Kuma, automations builder, improved AI field, and many more features. We're looking forward to your feedback.
You can do this soon with Baserow. We're currently working on view-level permissions, where you can give a user access to a specific view. That user will then only have access to the filtered rows and visible fields.
When I started working on Baserow (this seems similar based on the roadmap), a couple of years ago, I thought it would be a big challenge to quickly render a million rows in the browser. Introducing a system that fetches a page of rows based on the scroll offset, and with a small debounce did the trick. We only had a couple of field types, and it was all incredibly fast
The thing that make performance complicated for a no-code database is when you have 30 interconnected tables, some tables with 200 fields, containing many formulas or other computed fields like lookups or rollups. Updating a single cell, can result in thousands of other rows that must be updated across different tables. If there are 30 users making constant changes, locking PostgreSQL rows under the hood while the formulas are recalculated, and then a couple of n8n workflows making a many API requests to those tables, that's when things get interesting. Especially in combination with features like webhooks, real-time updates, 100+ filters, grouping, 26 field types, date dependencies, aggregations, importing/exporting whole databases.
When implementing a new feature, I've heard users say that's not complicated because it's just adding a checkbox. Making to run it at scale and keeping things performant is what's making it complicated.

We're building a small, remote and experienced engineering team focused on building a great open source no-code tool. If you have experience with Django and Vue.js, you want to work on open source software and want to join a startup we'd love to hear from you.
You'll be building features from scratch and you have full ownership over the whole process. Build new functionality for internal and external users. Collaborate with the team to improve the code base and product experience. Your changes have a direct impact.
It's our goal to build an open source no-code tool that can be used by everyone, from hobbyist to enterprise. We want our software to be flexible, modular and fast. We have big plans for the future and you can be a part of it in an early phase.
