Full-Time Senior Product Software Engineer

Hive is launching a brand new Ads team, and we’re looking for a second engineer to help build it from the ground up! As one of the founding members, you’ll have an opportunity to shape not only the product, but the team. Our Developer Department consists of three teams – Product, Reliability, and Integrations.

As a member of the new Ads team, you will have the opportunity to influence how the broader engineering team operates, shaping collaboration, best practices, and standards while working closely with members of other teams. The Ads team will be instrumental in driving a new revenue stream and leading cross-functional efforts to bring this product line to life.

Our clients invest a significant chunk of their advertising budgets on platforms beyond Email and SMS, and we’re eager to help them streamline their efforts and make smarter, more effective decisions.

If you're someone who gets fired up about building products from scratch and tackling challenging problems, we’d love to hear from you!

Our development philosophy is to build minimum viable products and deliver them as quickly as possible to market, then iterate based on real user feedback. Using this approach we’ve built a growing, profitable business and the scale of technical problems we’re solving is quickly growing too.

What you’ll get up to:

• 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.

• Always on the lookout to keep the tech stack updated with current standards.
