Job Overview:

We are looking forward to continued growth in 2025 and need Software Engineers to help form a new development team responsible for creating and delivering a new addition to our product suite. As a Software Engineer, you'll be an integral part of a focused team of 3-5 software engineers together with QA, Devops and UX specialists. Software teams at Harver independently own domain services within our product-suite and are responsible for their development, maintenance, releases and integration. 

In this role you get to: 

• Deliver software aligned with the technical architecture and product roadmap, as part of a team. 
• Contribute to evolving the software architecture for your area of the platform. 
• Work to weekly and daily schedules, in collaboration with your team. 
• Share knowledge and areas of expertise with fellow team members and throughout the technology organization. 
• Maintain awareness of how your area of the platform operates in production. 
• Raise awareness of potential concerns and take the initiative to lead improvements. 

You'll work with our engineering principles: 

• Simple Design. Build up system complexity through frequent simple steps. Simplicity before generality.  
• Behavior Driven Development. The process of developing software collaboratively driven by specification.  
• Continuous Delivery. Creating a momentum of delivery through incremental feedback cycles and updates.  
• Non-solo programming. Working collaboratively and as a true team.  
• Understanding Production. Understanding how your software works in the real-world in terms of both technical operation and user experience.  

These five principles are derived from Extreme Programming; we also eschew Scrum in favor of more Kanban and Lean styles of working. These are all concepts should you have some experience of but also desire a deeper understanding.  

We’re looking for people who have:  

• 5+ years of work experience as a software developer 
• Familiarity with our technical stack. You should consider yourself a "full stack" engineer, but bias toward frontend or backend is ok.  
• BS/MS in computer science or equivalent work experience  
• Experience within software development (BDD & TDD, CI/CD, pair programming), preferably in a SaaS environment  
• Excellent communication skills (written & verbal)  
• While familiarity with our core technology stack (NodeJS, React, Typescript, Postgres, Mongo, RabbitMQ, AWS) is a bonus, we’re looking for not just great coders, but great software engineers who are focused on delivering great products and inspiring those around them to do so too. 
• The points in this post about responsibilities, engineering practices and culture should resonate with you and excite you.  
• The desire to work in a collaborative and productive environment, are a continual learner and stay up to date with technology  
• Been disillusioned by sprints and story points and are seeking liberation; another way! 
• Willing to come to the office 2 times a week for collaboration!

Pssst ... you don’t have to check all the boxes to apply! 

We will offer you:

• A competitive base salary and an incentive program;   
• Harver Pension program;   
• Quarterly wellness days off;   
• Hybrid work schedules with lots of flexibility;  
• Summer Fridays - Take half day off on Fridays to rest and recharge;  
• Monthly connectivity and wellness allowance;  
• The chance to be a part of a high-performing, highly collaborative environment full of people who love what they do and who are dedicated to success;   
• A culture focused on achieving results and transparent communication;   
• A solid, experienced management team invested in your development;   
• An executive team dedicated to the safety and well-being of all team members.
