Job description

Mar 08, 2025 - Hive.co is hiring a remote Software Developer. Salary: meaningful salary and equity based on impact. Location: Canada.

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:

• 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 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.

Who you are:

• 3+ years of building highly performant software systems
• 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 design and articulate simple solutions to complex problems, identifying tradeoffs and risks.
• 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.
• Legally able to work within Canada- this is our only non-negotiable.

Technologies we use & teach:

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

Compensation/Benefits Package:

• Meaningful salary and equity. You're rewarded based on impact.
• Work fully remote in Canada: where you’re most productive whether that be from your house, or elsewhere. We just ask that you have legal work authorization in Canada.
• Flexible work hours: Choose your 9–5 as long as it’s not disruptive to your role, team, and Hive
• Health Insurance: Comprehensive health & dental coverage with a parental leave top-up program
• Open vacation/PTO policy: So you can be happy and healthy!

About Hive.co:

Hive.co is a marketing platform for event marketers. We help brands personalize and automate their campaigns, using email and SMS, to empower them to sell out so they can focus on making their events unforgettable.

We started our company inside a University of Waterloo computer lab in early 2014, graduated from Y Combinator that summer (S14 batch) and have been growing ever since. Originally based in Kitchener, our team is now 100% remote and located all across Canada! We strive to provide an online work environment that allows team members to have a strong work life balance while still feeling connected to their team and Hive’s mission.
