We’re looking for experienced, super ambitious, product-minded folks to join our rapidly growing engineering team.
We are remote-first
Our main office is located in Richmond, VA, but the majority of our engineers are distributed. This particular role needs to be able to work on east-coast time!
Our tech + how we work
Our core backend is built with Go, but we are constantly exploring tech that best fits the needs of our customers and engineers.
We believe in using the best tools for the job, and value engineering expertise over language prowess.
We value: documentation, test coverage, documentation, code review, documentation, CI/CD and documentation.
We predominantly communicate over Slack, making little use of email internally. We do daily standups each morning via Google Hangouts. Github is our repo tool of choice and we track progress and requirements via Jira.
You should apply if…
You’re passionate about building beautifully crafted software and creating awesome developer experiences.
You want to build a product you would use yourself, and bring your unique insight and perspective to the table as an engineer in shaping our overarching product offering.
You like solving big problems. Our greatest challenges are on the horizon, and we’ll need experienced, intelligent, hard-working and creative minds to solve foundational infrastructure challenges to further establish Hatch as the leading B2C messaging platform.
You value collaboration, autonomy, moving fast and getting lots done. We have no time or interest for bureaucracy and micromanagement we’re moving fast and you’ll be required to take responsibility for delivering end to end to product.
