At Devin ApS we're building the first real DevOps platform for Claris FileMaker, Appleâs long-running low-code ecosystem used inside thousands of enterprisesâincluding Apple itself, Coca-Cola, Samsung, the US Navy, banks, airports, hospitals, and countless internal teams that need custom workflows.
And yes: FileMaker is a bit of a strange, legacy-feeling technology from a modern engineering point of view. It stores entire applicationsâschema, logic, UI, permissionsâinside a proprietary binary file format that cannot be versioned or inspected. No Git. No diffs. No real CI/CD. Most teams still build features directly in production because they simply have no choice.
Thatâs exactly why Devin exists.
Weâre taking a platform with huge real-world usage but decades of technical debt, and building the tooling it has never had: true version control, merge, diff, test automation, safe deployments, and server-side orchestration. Not by patching workflows around the edges, but by breaking open the internal structure of the .fmp12 format and building the equivalent of Git, GitHub Actions, and Release Management for a low-code ecosystem that has been stuck in 2005.
Our work includes:
⢠Building a high-performance XML analysis layer capable of reading and comparing the hidden catalogs inside .fmp12 files
⢠Generating and applying patch files through Clarisâ CLI to achieve true merge and conflict resolution
⢠Designing a distributed backend (Devin Server 2.0) that runs on-prem and cloud, powering version control, test automation, deployments, and data migrations
⢠Creating a modern DevOps workflow on top of a platform that was never designed for one
This is deeply technical, state-of-the-art work involving parsing, schema design, distributed systems, performance engineering, and creating entirely new abstractions that will become the standard for 25,000+ FileMaker developers worldwide.
You do not need any FileMaker experienceâzero, genuinely. Think of FileMaker as a domain with a massive impact footprint but almost no modern tooling. Our founder, David, is one of the worldâs leading experts on the platform and maintains close relationships with Clarisâ engineering leadership. You will work in a modern stack, while he covers everything domain-specific.
Weâve proven commercial demand with Devin 1.0, secured angel funding, and are now expanding the team to build the breakthrough technologies behind Devin 2.0. Youâll join as part of the early technical core: a small, ambitious team working on hard engineering problems with real user impact, strong support from Claris, and direct visibility inside a niche Apple ecosystem.
Itâs a rare chance to build something genuinely newâalmost âGit for a platform that never had Gitââand define a category in a space that is both weird and surprisingly important.
