Senior Software Developer

The Opportunity Our Engineering team owns the code that lets our customers do powerful things with our product, simply and intuitively. We care about delivering the right product iterations quickly – we build minimum viable products, deploy to production multiple times per day, listen to customer feedback, and iterate.

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.

Take responsibility and ownership of projects from start to finish.

Take part in technical planning and architectural decision-making.

Find solutions to optimize bottlenecks 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

Created an integration with Meta ads manager to allow clients to use our platform’s segmentation to create custom audiences on Meta.

Built a state‑based pipeline to send 10MM+ personalized emails and SMS every day.

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, 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.

Built a Javascript SDK that other developers 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 the SDK was built to handle web‑scale traffic from day 1.

Who you are:

3+ years of building highly performant web applications.

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.

Can clearly explain complex things you’ve built to others, identifying tradeoffs you made and the hard problems you had to solve.

Have 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 and don’t find effective and why.

Have thrived in remote settings, excelling in async communication, independent work, and time management. You can articulate your preferred communication and working style effectively.
