The role

As a Senior Product Engineer at Hubble, you’ll have an impact quickly - most engineers ship a change by the end of their first day. You’ll work closely with the rest of our product team to build new features and help explore and build brand new products while maintaining and improving our existing codebase to prepare for growth.

You should have a strong learning mindset. You’ll be encouraged to get stuck into problems, investigate and propose solutions, make arguments in favor of your ideas, and be willing to make mistakes. You’ll have a supportive team around you, who will embrace your best ideas, and help you iterate on the incomplete ones. We'll give you time to research your work, develop new skills, and allocate dedicated time for learning.

A Senior Product Engineer at Hubble should have some leadership attributes. You should be highly competent with a keyboard, and be willing to offer assistance and mentorship to other engineers. Our senior engineers rotate through a temporary Tech Lead role, for periods of 8 weeks at a time, to get experience in leadership roles on their way to a Lead Engineer or Engineering Manager role, and get more involved in the product process - this role comes with plenty of opportunities for growth.

This role is remote, but you must be located in the UK. Those on our team who are able do occasionally meet in our office in London, or at a location on Hubble Pass.

Our team

Our Product & Engineering team is a friendly and close-knit group of creative, open-minded, and smart individuals. We love solving problems as a group, and try to keep a steady mix of new ideas and tried-and-true patterns. We’re a fast-paced startup with lots to do, but we don’t expect anyone to work evenings or weekends, and prioritize a healthy working environment above all else. We succeed as a team, and fail as a team - we don’t lay blame, but we constantly search for ways to make ourselves better. If you think you’d be a good fit, we’d love to talk to you.

Hubble’s stack comprises a component-driven frontend (built using React, Emotion, and Next.js), with micro-service backends (built with a combination of Python, Django, Node, Express, and Redis). We don’t expect you to come in with a knowledge of everything in our stack, but we would be looking for candidates who are familiar with the concepts we build upon (components, microservices, ORM, and queues). Past experience with React and/or Django would be beneficial, but not required.
