Who we are

Appsmith is an open-source, low-code platform that helps developers build applications quickly, usually within hours, and ten times faster. In the future we’re building, custom software developed for internal users will look and work no differently than the best out-of-the-box products.

Since its inception only two years ago, Appsmith has gained significant traction, with over 10 million downloads, over 30,000 stars on GitHub, and adoption by 10,000+ organisations across 150 countries. We’ve also raised over $50 million. If you haven’t already, sign up for a free Appsmith account at ​ and experiment today.

The Query&JS team is at the forefront of our mission to enable easy and effective app building. Users should be able to bring data from anywhere and achieve complexities of any scale with a simple, intuitive experience. This team is pivotal in creating an experience that inspires users to easily create rich and complex applications.

Our values and work environment

• In the Query&JS team we’re a team of 4 engineers, a product manager and designer and working closely with one another is our default mode of operation.

• We foster a culture of continuous learning, feedback, and open dialogue, welcoming adaptable people with strong opinions.
• All our work is open source because building in public allows for lightning-fast feedback, increased public accountability, and greater trust from our users.
• We practice continuous integration, pushing code to production everyday, using techniques like feature toggles to manage delivery
• We strongly believe in reading the health of the team’s operations from an evolving set of engineering metrics
