Backend Developer
Do you want to work with the latest technology and change the world by helping companies benefit from high-quality video communication that engages employees?
It’s an exciting time to work at Hive Streaming! We have grown significantly over the last few years and now rank among the top SaaS companies in the Nordics. In 2021, Microsoft selected Hive to become the recipient of its prestigious ISV of the Year award.
In these turbulent times, great employee video communication is crucial for enterprise companies to create engagement and alignment to survive and succeed. At Hive Streaming we are proud to offer an industry-leading solution to this demand. We help multiple Fortune 500 customers analyze, secure, and optimize their video experience on a daily basis.
Hive and Sustainable Growth
We have been a hypergrowth company for a long time - more than doubling our revenue every year. For the next phase of our journey, we want to continue that growth by financing it ourselves. By the end of 2022, we will be able to drive additional growth without the need for external capital. This is an exciting thing!
We want to grow sustainably when it comes to revenue, when it comes to our people and our customers; they are what truly makes us succeed.
To help our customers to grow sustainably, we will help them by creating alignment and engagement of their employees. We will help them to reduce their carbon footprint through less travel and by increasing the lifespan of their existing infrastructure. All this is at the core of our product, the Hive Video Experience Platform.
Want to join our Platform team?
We are growing our Engineering team, and looking for our new developer to our Stockholm office. You will be part of our hybrid workplace, which means you will be working partly remotely and at the office. Our brilliant Engineering team consists of 30 engineers, all passionate and skilled, and always there to help each other.
The Perks of Working at Hive
🏂🏼 Have it your way! At the office, at home or on the ski slope (did I go too far?) - your way is the best way but flexibility is everyone's way at Hive! We use Microsoft Teams to collaborate, we have digital kick-off's and provide you opportunities to work either remotely or in a hybrid setting.
🧡 Without you = no Hive? We are a fast-paced, global (over 35 nationalities among our 100 co-workers around the globe) scale-up company that empowers every single coworker. Everyone is unique and important for our growth. You will play an important role in the company’s future success.
🧘🏽♀️ Flexibility (cannot say it enough)... we have flexible working hours to encourage work-life balance.
🌎 Contribution to innovation and a better world! Hive helps enterprises to communicate through video instead of flying people in from across the globe, which means Hive employees directly contribute to a greener world!
🌈 The boring but most important... salaries are good, insurances are good, awesome health benefits (did someone say free massage at the office?) and hopefully you stay good (& healthy)!
