The Commerce Platform domain is responsible for all commercial aspects. Our Cost Management team develops services that measure our customers cloud resource consumption, prepares this data transparently and thus lays the foundation for billing. We are the central place at STACKIT for the monetization of our cloud. To achieve this, we work closely with all product teams. The teams “Customer Management” and “Product Information Management” are also part of our domain.
For 2025, we are planning, among other things, to rebuild one of our core components to allow further growth of our customer base and flexibility in pricing. To achieve this, we need you in our team. Are you in for this challenge?
