At Hive, we're all about creating moments that matter and helping event marketers connect with their biggest fans. Our platform powers marketing for 1,500+ iconic events, festivals, venues, and promoters across North America. We help them grow their customer base and sell out shows using intelligent, automated, and personalized digital marketing tools. The Opportunity Our Engineering team owns the code 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+ of email/SMS every month to our client's customers. We've built a growing business and the scale of technical problems we're solving is quickly growing too We're looking for a product-minded staff engineer who moves fast, ships iteratively, and obsesses over user impact - we want to hear why you're excited about Hive, what impact you want to have, and how we can help you make that happen. What you’ll get up to: Own end-to-end delivery of high-impact product features across the full stack, partnering with Product and Design to shape what we build Lead and inspire teams to build technology that ages well - making architectural decisions and technical investments that let us move faster as we scale Mentor engineers on technical excellence and product thinking, raising the bar for code quality, developer experience, and understanding the "why" behind what we build Champion user impact in everything - work directly with customers to understand pain points, then advocate for the right technical solutions that deliver real value Balance moving fast with building systems that last - you know when to ship quickly and when to invest in the foundation Anticipate what's next - solve the technical challenges today that will unlock speed and capabilities for the team tomorrow Past Projects: Here is a look into just some of the projects we've worked on. We created an integration with Meta ads manager to allow clients to use our platform's segmentation to create custom audiences on Meta. We built a state-based pipeline to send 10MM+ personalized emails and SMS every day. We built a simple UI to let our clients easily query their own customer data. Behind the scenes, it executes queries against billions of data points across different types of databases and combines the results together in seconds. Using Kubernetes and Docker, we built a task processing system which runs billions of jobs every day. Our processing capacity scales based on workload - which means things execute faster for our clients, we save loads of money on idle servers, and our engineers can sleep at night. We built a Javascript SDK that other developers (our clients and partners) use on their websites to pump customer preferences and behaviour into Hive. Our customers run some of the highest-traffic websites on the internet (large ecommerce merchants and ticketing websites), so our SDK was built to handle web-scale traffic from day 1.
