[Hiring] Software Engineer @HiPeople

Role Description

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to accelerate our velocity in shipping differentiating AI for recruiting teams as we scale toward $10M ARR and beyond.

You’ll work in a highly collaborative, high-impact team where everybody strives to make a dent every day with the software we ship. This role is for people who care deeply about quality, enjoy working on difficult frontend problems (both UI and performance), and have outstanding taste.

We are an extremely lean team and plan to reach $10M ARR with fewer than 20 people. Every hire materially changes the company. This role has direct exposure to founders and real responsibility from day one.

What you’ll do:

• Turn rough ideas into end-to-end, delightful experiences
• Build using: React, TypeScript & Redux
• Ship multiple times a day, in 1-week sprints
• Talk to users whenever needed to uncover core problems
• Engage with other teams to quickly solve impactful problems
• Break down complex topics clearly in writing and in person
• Collaborate closely with product and design
• Work in a CI-driven environment; we optimize for cycle time, PRs merged per week, and planning accuracy
• Raise the bar for the codebase, standards, and quality
• Extend our automated end-to-end test suite with Playwright

Qualifications

• 100% alignment with our Ops Principles (if this doesn’t resonate, please do not apply)
• 2+ years of professional frontend experience
• Enjoyment of live collaboration (e.g. pair programming & huddles)
• High ownership mindset and strong attention to detail
• Strong interest in quality, not just shipping features
• Clear communication and documentation skills
• Growth mindset (e.g. learning and sharing new technologies with the team)

Background

Strong candidates often come from:

• Software engineering roles at top tech companies
• Other paths that demonstrate building high-quality products at high velocity

Logistics

Benefits

• Work closely with founders on core product
• Competitive salary and meaningful stock options
• Educational stipend to support ongoing learning and development
• The best team to work with (true story!)

Process

• Step 1: AI Application Screen (immediate)
• Step 2: AI Recruiter Interview (right after successful AI Application Screen)
• Step 3: AI Skills-Assessment (right after successful AI Recruiter Interview)
• Step 4: Interview with Co-founder
