Senior Software Engineer

Hiive, ranked #4 startup in Canada for 2024, is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join their fintech marketplace platform connecting buyers and sellers of pre-IPO company stocks. This role offers a unique opportunity to work with modern technologies including React, TypeScript, and Elixir in a fast-paced, profitable startup environment. The position combines both frontend and backend development responsibilities, with the company providing on-the-job training in Elixir for those coming from a Ruby background.

The role demands a strong foundation in React and TypeScript development, with the successful candidate expected to ship code from day one. While prior Elixir experience isn't required, a demonstrated ability to learn new programming languages and technologies is essential. The position offers significant growth opportunities, including potential paths to team leadership and management roles.

Working at Hiive comes with numerous benefits, including competitive compensation (up to $315K base salary), equity participation through stock options, and comprehensive healthcare coverage. The company maintains a vibrant office culture in downtown Vancouver, though remote work options are available for candidates based in Canada or the US. Regular team events, including catered lunches, team retreats, and various social activities, foster a strong collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate will be proactive, self-motivated, and comfortable working directly with founders in a startup environment. They should have experience with full-stack development, automated testing, and translating design mockups into functional interfaces. Knowledge of GraphQL and experience with functional programming languages are considered assets.
