Backend Engineer - Data Experience - London

Engineering at hyperexponential

Our engineering department is a melting pot of some of the brightest (and kindest!) engineers in the industry.

The level of complexity of hx Renew requires a highly technical, true engineering mindset so an output of this is a deeply creative, innovative environment where we push technological boundaries, both through our work and our regular (and sometimes irregular!) hackathons.

Your Mission:

In the Data Experience team, our mission is to build new systems that will unlock the value of the data our customers have in hx Renew. We’re building features that enable our customers to understand and optimise the decisions they make when modelling risk.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help us build the right thing by working with product managers, designers, fellow engineers and (sometimes) customers to understand problems and develop solutions

• Help us build the right thing by writing high-quality, thoughtful, simple, commented, documented, tested, well-structured code aligned to our constants, principles and standards

• Help drive our technical standards, decisions, and strategy

• Help reduce friction and eliminate impediments that slow us down

• Continually learn and improve yourself - experiment and play with new technologies through your work and hackathons

• Promote hx in the community by contributing to open source projects, writing blog posts and/or presenting at virtual meetups/conferences

• Help support our product in production by joining an on-call rota

Required Skills:

• Proven polyglot, our stack currently makes use of Kotlin and Rust

• Experience with AWS (we are currently using ECS, DynamoDB, SQS, Redshift)

• Experience working with ETL/ELT pipelines, and building interfaces to data lakes

• Experience with or knowledge on any of those would be a great advantage: Terraform, Gitlab CI/CD, Opentelemetry, Sumologic OpenAPI
