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 always especially keen to hear from those interested in joining the team from our founding city, Wellington.

We’re really proud of the team we’ve built so far and we’re always keen to connect with great engineers who are interested in what we’re doing - even if that conversation is for a little further down the track.

As part of our growing team you'll play a key role as part of our mobile team, working alongside other engineers to deliver a seamless experience across our Hnry mobile apps.

You'll have the opportunity to build out a robust, scalable, modern platform alongside developing new features in a fast-paced but rewarding environment - with the opportunity to also contribute to our iOS apps.

🚀 Responsibilities

• Working with the mobile Principal Engineer to design and build a modern and scalable platform to support the future of mobile development at Hnry.
• Engaging with customers and all members of the business to actively identify problems and propose solutions.
• Maintaining and deepening our existing user-facing feature set, ensuring delightful experiences which are consistent across our mobile apps and our web offering.
• Working alongside other engineers to make sure we are providing our customers with the best tools and dashboards to support them in all aspects of being self-employed individuals.
• Championing best practices in building robust and reliable software and encouraging the same among colleagues.
• Taking responsibility for delivering functionality from concept through to production release and post-release maintenance.
• Producing work that meets the expected level of test coverage and improving test coverage across the existing codebase.
• Providing detailed code reviews to colleagues, sharing your knowledge and ensuring that standards are maintained.
• Acting as a mentor and technical leader, providing guidance and support to other engineers on the team.
• Collaborating with and supporting other members of the wider Hnry team.
• Contributing development and code reviews for our iOS apps (no prior experience needed, you’ll have the opportunity to learn!).

🫵 How we work

• 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 web and backend technology platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres, Docker, and a little bit of React.
• Our mobile platforms are hybrid solutions which use Turbolinks to support us in building native features.
• We have automated tests, continuous integration, and release to production regularly.
• We review each other's 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.
