The Opportunity Our Engineering team owns the code that lets our customers do powerful things with our product, simply and intuitively.

At Hive, we ingest high-volume data in real-time from 20+ integrations (like Ticketmaster and Shopify), we store and query billions of customer data points, and we send 200MM+ of email/SMS every month to our client’s customers. We’ve built a growing business and the scale of technical problems we’re solving is quickly growing too! We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about building and shipping software - we want to hear why you're excited about Hive, what impact you want to have, and how we can help you make that happen. What you’ll get up to: You rapidly build new features that users will love, continuously refining them based on feedback. Contribute to code reviews, technical spec reviews, technical planning, and architectural decision-making. Be able to take responsibility and ownership of projects from start to finish. Take part in technical planning and architectural decision-making. Find solutions to optimize bottle-necks and general system wide performance. Always on the lookout to keep the tech stack updated with current standards. Collaborate with team members on designing scalable, and well documented web architecture, including APIs and backend systems. Work directly with our customer success team to solve customer-impacting problems. Past Projects: Here is a look into just some of the projects we've worked on. We created an integration with Meta ads manager to allow clients to use our platform’s segmentation to create custom audiences on Meta. We built a state-based pipeline to send 10MM+ personalized emails and SMS every day. We built a simple UI to let our clients easily query their own customer data. Behind the scenes, it executes queries against billions of data points across different types of databases and combines the results together in seconds. Using Kubernetes and Docker, we built a task processing system which runs billions of jobs every day. Our processing capacity scales based on workload - which means things execute faster for our clients, we save loads of money on idle servers, and our engineers can sleep at night. We built a Javascript SDK that other developers (our clients and partners) use on their websites to pump customer preferences and behaviour into Hive. Our customers run some of the highest-traffic websites on the internet (large ecommerce merchants and ticketing websites), so our SDK was built to handle web-scale traffic from day 1. Who you are: 3+ years of building highly performant web applications You are fuelled by curiosity and thrive on the excitement of working in a fast-paced environment. Experience collaborating closely with Product & Design to design, implement and iterate on high impact end-to-end product experiences You’re able to clearly explain complex things you’ve built to others, identifying tradeoffs you made and the hard problems you had to solve. You’ve seen the inner workings of how software is made by a team on a shared codebase - you can articulate what communication, development processes and tooling you do/don’t find effective and why. You've thrived in remote settings, excelling in async communication, independent work, and time management. You can articulate your preferred communication and working style effectively.
