You’ll play a key role as part of our growing Engineering team, working to build a polished experience for our customers while also scaling the systems required to operate the business. You’ll be expected to take ownership of the development of new features, from concept through to release.

Engaging with customers and all members of the business to actively identify problems and propose solutions

Collaborate with and support other members of the wider Hnry team
Mentor and provide support to less senior developers on the team
How we work
We follow agile practices, delivering improvements iteratively in small chunks. We track the impact of our work and measure ourselves on results, not the amount of code written.
We’re growing fast, and are focused on building a well designed, scalable & robust platform. In some areas of the work (e.g. payment processing) there is very little margin for error.
Our technology platform is built in React, Tailwind, Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres and Docker.
We have automated tests, continuous deployment, and release to production multiple times per day.
We review each others code, and set aside time for hacking on experimental features, refactoring and/or learning new things.
We work hard and finish on time, no crazy hours.
