Company mission
To be the operational brain of your D2C company, so that you can focus on other aspects of your business.
Role
Who you are
- You've done this before. Multiple times. Ideally, you've written a lot of React, TypeScript and JavaScript code before. You love great user experience, sweat the details, and know when you reach the point where the product just works. We’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it — this will probably mean that you've worked as a Software Engineer for 5+ years
- Builder at heart. Creating from scratch excites you. Figuring out how to solve problems is one of your favorite activities. Building, scaling, and rapidly iterating upon the software is what keeps you going
- You care about quality. You champion and deliver rigorously tested, documented, and maintainable code — you know how much time it'll save you down the line
- It's about systems. Perfect software is not the only thing — you care about the business impact of your products, and make trade-offs when necessary
- You want to learn and grow. You want to grow personally and professionally, and you figure out which tools and technologies will help Hive grow
- Bonus points:
- Very good knowledge of React Context, Hooks, Function Components, styled-components and other UI libraries
- Experience writing E2E tests and automating UI testing
- Experience building Progressive Web Apps
What the job involves
- You'll work on the frontend of Hive, the operations brain for Direct To Consumer (DTC) brands
- You'll join our growing engineering team (~15 people) to work on our React+TypeScript frontends. Right now, that includes our Merchant App, Warehouse Management System, and End Customer App. With more to come
- Perfect the Warehouse Management System of the future - coming up with ways to make picking and packing more efficient, allocate inventory among different warehouses in a smart way, or enable better handling of the complex packaging and bundling needs of our clients
- Create a best-in-class web app for our clients - allowing them to see which items they need to reorder, put orders on hold, or give instructions for dealing with return shipments
- Transform the post-purchase experience for end customers - build out our End Customer App to allow customers to upgrade their shipping service, print return labels or re-order products - and provide data on these interactions to our merchants in an easily digestible form, to help them perfect their shop experience
- Design a supply chain experience the way it’s meant to be. Work on delivering a best-in-class end-to-end experience, starting with sourcing — optimizing freight, inventory distribution, and transparency along the supply chain
Our take
Streamlining commerce operations requires the participation of various departments, which can complicate the purchase-to-delivery cycle and lead to delays. Hive’s platform helps to streamline commerce operations through a network of operations providers.
Hive’s Warehouse Management System works in tandem with its Transport Management System to organise and economise the operations of eCommerce businesses. Importantly, its network of solutions means that users can give their customers an accurate delivery date from the moment of purchase online. This leads to a better experience that can help foster loyalty and support repeat purchases.
This is an attractive proposition, especially as eCommerce begins to take over from the high street and consumer expectations continue to rise. Investors have recognised this potential in Hive, which intends to use its latest funding round to accelerate growth and product development, with the aim to reach profitability by 2025.
