We have one of the coolest offices of Europe: http://whatiserp.net/just-for-fun/10-cool-office-in-the-world/ Software development at Hyves: • The problem picks the programming language, not the other way around. C++ and Java versus Python, Ruby and PHP: it’s a matter of the problem domain. • We take great care with noise reduction and work overhead. • Decision making does not require going through several management layers. • We have team rooms with a maximum of 5 people. • You can order the workstation or laptop you want (MacBook Pro including), with up to 3 screens. • There is plenty of entertainment outside working hours to make you feel at home at Hyves. • Hyves pays 10%+ market average in the Netherlands. Technology overview Hyves runs a substantial operation in terms of volume, with over 9 million monthly visitors, 250.000 concurrent chat users, and ±3500 servers. The main technology stack is PHP, Python, NGINX, MySQL and Memcached running on Gentoo. High-volume key-value stores take care of persistency; Hadoop is used for massive parallel processing. Our services we provide include toolbars (FF/IE), desktop clients (Qt C++), several mobile clients (iPhone/Android/Blackberry) and the OpenSocial API. The position: Developer We operate according to a custom Agile development process. Our focus is on great, working code, so the UML and consultations are not an end but a means. Decision pathways and deploy cycles are very short, so there is a considerable momentum. What you think of today can be online in a matter of weeks. The software you write or modify is used by millions of people each month. Responsibilities • You will spend up to 80-90% of your time doing coding—new projects as well as maintaining the existing code base. Everything that is shipped-, is used by 10 million people. • You will contribute to the design and development of new software components and new functionality. • You realize that constantly improving the usability of a high volume social network is essential to its long-term well being, and will enjoy contributing to improving the ease-of-use of our pages and forms and carrying out UI adjustments and optimizations • You understand that a certain portion of each product’s development effort goes into maintenance — bugfixing, addressing technical debt, refactorying, increasing automated test coverage — and are ready to contribute to this activity. Requirements • Minimum of a BSc in Computer Science or an equivalent field. • Some software engineering experience, preferably in creating high volume WEB 2.0 applications. • Proficient English speaker. • You value a multi-cultured environment where English is the working language and easily get on with people from different cultural backgrounds. • You are flexible in the choice of technology for the job at hand and are willing to switch from one language/technology to another on projects’ need basis. • You are a quick and continuous learner who keeps their skills up-to-date and is eager to broaden up your technical horizons. • Good knowledge and experience with modern OO languages like Java, C# or Ruby. • Experience with Linux, App Servers/LAMP, MySQL (or MS-SQL, Oracle, etc.) • OO Design experience and working knowledge of Design Patterns and the UML. • Bonus: Hands-on with: LAMP stack, NGINX, Python, memcached, Prototype, Scriptaculous, Propel, Smarty, Python, or Twisted/Pyrex libraries. • IT knowledge and understanding of Operating Systems, Networks and Databases. Moving to the Netherlands? You are not the 1st: Hyves employs programmers from all over the world. Hyves will help with: Housing, relocation, paperwork and the language. Interested?
