Besides that: We have one of the coolest offices of Europe. Software development at Hyves: • Means you can spend 90% of your time doing real coding. And everything that is shipped-, is used by 10 million people. • Requires a deep understanding of technology, plus a strong attitude towards shipping. You will find your colleagues know a thing or two about shipping and technology, too. • Some opinions on software development we have: - The problem picks the programming language, not the other way around. C++ and Java versus Python, Ruby and PHP: it’s a matter of problem domain. - Programmers need to learn a new programming language at least once every 2 years. Stay sharp, don’t end up on the Cobol graveyard. - Optimizing efficiency and productivity is a constant focus. Nothing is as irritating as slow systems, poor unit testing facilities, or patching bad code instead of refactoring. • In addition we believe management exists to facilitate the best possible working condition for software engineers. We take great care with noise reduction and work overhead. • Decision making does not require going through several management layers. • We do not have 100 people in a loud open space, we have team rooms with a maximum of 5 people. • You can order the workstation or laptop you want, with up to 3 screens if that is of your liking. • There is plenty of entertainment outside working hours to make you feel at home at Hyves.
