The Role

As part of our Content Moderation team, we are looking for a self-motivated senior engineer with a passion for our business, for technology innovation, and for making the online world a safer place for everyone. You will be writing logic in a Ruby backend, integrating with third parties, orchestrating different systems via Kafka, building an event driven architecture, or even exploring the use of serverless in AWS.

You keep overengineering to a minimum. You love to collaborate, mentor, and learn from each other, and take care of every member of the team. You always leave your ego out of work, and embrace a no blame culture.

We're committed to cultivating an environment that promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion.Our team includes people of all genders, sexual orientation, parents, the self-taught, the university-educated, and people of a wide variety of nationalities, ages, and socio-economic backgrounds. We are a global community and we believe our unique qualities must be celebrated as they are critical to our innovation. Diverse teams are strong teams, and we encourage those with varied identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply. It's essential to us that you bring your authentic self to work every single day, no matter your age, ethnicity, religion, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, neurodiversity, or otherwise. Inclusion isn't just an initiative at Hopin. We strive to embed it not just into our core values but throughout our entire ecosystem.
