Full-Time Software Developer

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.
• 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.

Technologies we use & teach:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript
• Backend: Python, Django
• Databases: Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch
• Infra: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform

Who you are:

• 3+ years of building highly performant software systems
• Fueled 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
• Able to design and articulate simple solutions to complex problems, identifying tradeoffs and risks.
• Seen the inner workings of how software is made by a team on a shared codebase - can articulate what communication, development processes and tooling you do/don’t find effective and why.
• Thrived in remote settings, excelling in async communication, independent work, and time management. Can articulate your preferred communication and working style effectively.
• Legally able to work within Canada - this is our only non-negotiable.
