Our Engineering Team
Our Engineering Team owns the code and infrastructure 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.
At Hive, we ingest high-volume data in real-time from 20+ integrations (like Ticketmaster and Shopify), we store and query billions of customer data points, and we send 200MM+ email/SMS messages every month to our clients’ customers. We’ve built a growing, profitable business and the scale of technical problems we’re solving is quickly growing too!
We’re looking for someone who is passionate about building teams and has a track record of delivering high quality software. It’s an exciting time to join as our Engineering team has doubled in size in the past year. You will be successful in this role if you are able to provide technical guidance and coach on performance while fostering a collaborative work environment.
What you’ll get up to
Manage our platform, infrastructure and integration engineering pods. Coach and mentoring the team as well as setting and holding a high bar for performance.
Drive the initiatives and priorities for your teams, working with dependencies across the company
Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Hive’s engineering leadership team
Recruit great engineers, in collaboration with our People team, to join Hive
Improve our processes and tools to help team be more productive and deliver better outcomes
Who you are
You’ve spent 3+ years managing an effective engineering team, specializing in platform services, data integration and cloud infrastructure
You have 5+ years of hands-on experience building high-volume data ingestion and transformation applications
You’ve worked with platform engineering teams and can understand their concepts and technologies
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 while working on a semi or fully-remote team (communicate effectively async, work independently, know when to ask for help, self-manage your time and effort)
You're a direct, empathetic communicator, who believes that thoughtful feedback is a mandatory input to growth
You're never done learning - you constantly drive to understand how things work, how you can improve, and how you can have an impact at different levels
Technologies we use & teach
Databases: MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, Clickhouse
Infra: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
Frontend: React, Typescript

Have 1-3 years of experience leading a team in a larger more scaled environment
Are able to clearly articulate why you made the intentional decision to go down a management track
