ENGINEERING AT HYPEREXPONENTIAL

Our engineering department is a melting pot of some of the brightest (and kindest!) engineers in the industry.
The level of complexity of hx Renew requires a highly technical, true engineering mindset so an output of this is a deeply creative, innovative environment where we push technological boundaries, both through our work and our regular (and sometimes irregular!) hackathons.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS

• Experience using Kotlin / JVM technologies with Spring & Hibernate
• Understanding of Version Control Systems (VCS) and the principles behind them
• Basic knowledge of Python and/or Typescript is a plus but is not required
• Have a demonstrably good working knowledge of fundamental computer science and software engineering principles (algorithms, data structures, complexity, design patterns, architecture)
• Have experience of a complete product development lifecycle (conception through to delivery)

• Help us build the right thing by working with product managers, designers, fellow engineers and (sometimes) customers to understand problems and develop solutions
• Help us build the thing right by writing high-quality, thoughtful, simple, commented, documented, tested, well-structured code aligned to our constants, principles and standards
• Help drive our technical standards, decisions, and strategy
• Continually learn and improve yourself - experiment and play with new technologies through your work and hackathons
• Help reduce friction and eliminate impediments that slow us down
• Help your team and the company evolve our ways of working as we grow into new scales of operation.
• Coordinate with other engineering teams to manage cross team dependencies and cooperate on Engineering-wide initiatives.
• Help support our product in production by joining an on-call rota
