Company mission
To enable the world’s tech teams to deliver code faster and with more control than ever before.
Our take
Even once software's code is complete, its release date can still be pushed back by months whilst all the requisite release admin gets wrapped up. Hiphops has developed an ML pipeline to automate out much of this grunt work, from gathering release notes, to tracking multi-repo releases, to automatically categorising and labelling any changes. It doesn’t replace, but instead complements existing CI/CD pipelines.
The ability to expedite and streamline the release process should prove increasingly appealing - especially with the industry moving towards a model of continuous release. Perhaps more crucially for Hiphops, as it begins to build out its client base, its software has been uniquely designed to meet the security requirements of tightly regulated and emerging sectors like fintech and crypto.
These are cash-flush sectors where fast-growth tech-friendly players are seeking out precisely the kind of operational edge that Hiphops can offer. Whilst the company remains tight-lipped about the clients it's already secured (having only recently come out of stealth mode), they reportedly include a multinational insurer and fintech Unicorn. This is a strong start, and for now Hiphops has an uncluttered field to play for.

The people are great! Hiphops is a small (growing!) team, everyone is supportive and encouraging. We laugh...a lot. There is always someone willing to give their time or advice is you need some help or a sounding board.

We are building a business and a product. We are refining our market fit. This is challenging but incredibly rewarding. Be ready to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in!

Challenging work
Sep 2022
We use a mix of Kubernetes and Serverless on the backend, React on the frontend. Given the stage of the company/product you get to have a massive say in what the tech will look like. None of the decisions made so far are so deeply entrenched they can't be updated.

It's a super small team where you're expected to understand the mission and help pull it off. How you go about it and what working practices you follow is largely left up to you. As long as you are sensitive to everyone else's needs and communicate well you'll enjoy it.

I love working as part of this team. We're small but everyone knows their stuff and is focused on building a great product. Building an ambitious product like this from scratch is challenging but rewarding. It feels like the team is very effective and constantly challenge themselves to improve and grow. They're also just a lovely bunch of people that make me laugh.

We come together and discuss things and take collective decisions, but ultimately we're left to work the way we want to. I really value that freedom!

The founders speak openly about what they're working on and the things that are impacting the trajectory of the company. I've only ever gotten the impression that we're getting the whole truth about things, which is really important to me.
