About Us

Portainer aims to be a single-pane-of-glass “manager of managers” management toolset that allows anyone in IT to deploy, manage, and monitor containerised applications and platforms, regardless of their current knowledge/exposure to these technologies. We want Portainer to be the only tool IT need to learn in order to leverage containers, and that the learning curve should be dramatically flatter as a result of adopting Portainer. We will provide access to a range of underlying technologies through our simple-to-use, follow-your-nose UI; either capability we create natively, or through technology we integrate with.

Portainer believes that access to the game-changing capabilities of containers should be available to every organisation, regardless of their size, maturity, or revenue; we believe that the benefits of containers make them so monumentally disruptive, that only those organisations that embrace containerization will be successful in delivering digital assets/services to market, and so it’s on us to ensure everyone has access to this technology; in a way, we are democratizing the technology.

No Egos - We are all here to build something awesome, we don't need ego’s. Every single one of us has been bought into the business because we have something to add, so leave ego’s and a sense of “hierarchy” at home.

Customer First - Whenever we imagine a feature, build a feature, QA a release, support a user, or message to our community, always think from the perspective of the user. It's not about us, it's about them.

Honesty - We need to know what you think, either about your team, your manager, the product, or market perception. If you have a view/opinion, share it. No one will be criticised for sharing their opinions.

Startup mindset - We should always operate as a startup; we need to be dynamic and hyper-responsive to user feedback and market shifts. A roadmap that is inflexible to changes in the market is a roadmap for failure. Expect change, embrace it, it's what makes us loved by the market.

Muck In - Titles and job roles are awesome, but don't let them stop you providing assistance to anyone else, in any other area of the business; if you have a valuable contribution to make, do so. Everyone is smart, everyone has a unique viewpoint, so muck in and help each other out.
