We’re building the premium teamwork tool on the market, and we need you to help us do so in an iterative, fast-paced and maintainable way.
The ideal fit for this role has worked on production systems long enough to have gone through all the phases of loving, hating and loving a framework/language. You understand why anti-patterns are anti-patterns, and strive to contribute code that is clean, well-commented, extensible, but not over-engineered. You have a fundamental understanding of all aspects of quality in software development lifecycle, but are pragmatic in your approach to solve problems.
As a senior engineer at Hive, you’ll work directly with product managers, designers, other engineers and the CTO to refine and implement features that make being a Hive user delightful. You’ll quickly ramp up on the code base and be contributing to production code in the first week of coming on board.
You’ll have the opportunity to combine heads-down coding with establishing in-house best practices, documentation and leadership. Your impact on Hive will be the foundation of a nascent engineering team that will more than double in the coming months.
We’re looking for someone with a genuine love for inventing, building and measuring their impact on the team; somebody who is excited at the prospect of being able to take and own initiatives.
