Software Engineer

Job Description

Mission

Hubble is the future of work, pushing every day to improve the working lives of people all over the world.

By equipping businesses with the tools they need to satisfy the growing demand for flexibility, we deliver workplace experiences that work for all, whether it’s a full-time office by the month or access to on-demand workspaces in close to 1,000 locations worldwide.

What we're looking for

We're looking for product engineers, to help our team grow and scale our product. We have big plans, and we'd love for you to be a part of them.

Our stack is React on Next.js, backed by Django and Postgres. We don’t expect you to come in with a complete knowledge of everything in our stack; rather, we're looking for candidates who are familiar with the concepts of modern web development.

The Role

This role is remote, but if you'd like, you'll be able to work from our Southwark office. And you'll also be able to use our class-leading Hubble Pass product to book yourself into coworking spaces across the UK and around the world. We're big believers in using what we build. (Note: this position is only open to applicants resident in the UK.)

Our team prides itself on a healthy work-life balance. We try to keep our work fun and engaging, but we end our days on time and keep weekends to ourselves. We deeply value career growth, and offer dedicated in-work time for education, as well as regular hack days. You won't need to put in extra hours just to advance your career.

You’ll have an impact quickly, too: most engineers ship a change by the end of their first day. Our process is lightweight, and focused on moving quickly, while maintaining a high standard of quality. Working with our diverse team of full-stack engineers, you'll be given lots of opportunities to guide our architecture, shape our culture, and demonstrate your leadership abilities.

Sound interesting? We'd love to chat.

Diversity, Equality & Inclusion

At the core of Hubble is a belief that diverse teams make for more complete teams. Our goal is for Hubble's team to be representative of our customers. Hubble is a welcoming work environment, and we would love for you to join us, no matter your background. Hubble is LGBTQ+ friendly, has employees from all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, and aims for gender balance.
