We have officially expanded into the UK, and we are looking to hire engineers to join the team.

We’re really lucky to have an Engineering team spread across three jurisdictions working on the Hnry product. While that gives us the opportunity to hire great people globally, we’re really keen to hear from those who are interested in joining our founding team in London.

You will play a key role in the team that takes ownership of the infrastructure, performance, and security of the Hnry platform. Our Platform Squad is responsible for keeping our AWS servers and databases running smoothly, and making sure we’re set up to scale with confidence.

🚀 Responsibilities

• Engaging with customers and all members of the business to actively identify problems and propose solutions
• Designing and implementing improvements to the infrastructure and platform of Hnry, currently hosted on AWS
• Identifying potential improvements to platform architecture and performance
• Making incremental improvements to our existing, high-performance CI/CD pipeline and associated processes
• Implementing new monitoring and reporting using DataDog to ensure high-availability APM
• Following best practices in building a robust and reliable platform and encourage the same among colleagues
• Take responsibility for the delivering functionality from concept through to production release and post-release maintenance
• Produce work that meets the expected level of test coverage and improve test coverage across the existing codebase
• Sharing your knowledge and ensuring that standards are maintained
• Collaborate with and support other members of the wider Hnry team
