Senior Product Software Engineer

Past Projects:

Here is a look into just some of the projects we've worked on.

• We created an integration with Meta ads manager to allow clients to use our platform’s segmentation to create custom audiences on Meta.
• We built a state-based pipeline to send 10MM+ personalized emails and SMS every day.
• We built a simple UI to let our clients easily query their own customer data. Behind the scenes, it executes queries against billions of data points across different types of databases and combines the results together in seconds.
• Using Kubernetes and Docker, we built a task processing system which runs billions of jobs every day. Our processing capacity scales based on workload - which means things execute faster for our clients, we save loads of money on idle servers, and our engineers can sleep at night.
• We built a Javascript SDK that other developers (our clients and partners) use on their websites to pump customer preferences and behaviour into Hive. Our customers run some of the highest-traffic websites on the internet (large ecommerce merchants and ticketing websites), so our SDK was built to handle web-scale traffic from day 1.
