Job Description
Hiive is redefining how private companies and their shareholders access liquidity. Through its institutional-grade platform, Hiive brings together buyers, sellers, and issuers to facilitate secondary transactions in venture-backed, pre-IPO companies, introducing efficiency, transparency, and standardization to an otherwise opaque asset class.
Recognized as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies and backed by leading U.S. investors, Hiive is profitable, well-capitalized, and building a high-performance team to meet growing demand and pursue new market opportunities.

- Be proactive and self-motivated and comfortable learning on the job in a fast-paced environment.
- Be comfortable working with a small team including directly with the founders on building a product and a company.
- Adapt well to a quickly moving environment.
Required Experience:
- Substantial expertise building interfaces with React and working in Typescript.
- Strong experience building backend API services using Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
- Have a philosophy in writing automated backend tests.
- Translating design mockups (e.g. Figma) into frontend implementation.
- Working closely with product designers on feedback for UI/UX changes.
Preferred Experience:
- Understanding of the ins and outs of data modeling and software architecture for developing performant and maintainable code.
- Experience building or working with GraphQL APIs.
- Working closely with product managers on understanding use cases, prioritizing features, and scoping work.
- Exposure to Elixir or other functional languages.
Compensation, Benefits & Perks:
- Highly competitive salary commensurate with experience and contribution.
- Opportunity to participate in ownership of a rapidly growing early-stage startup through our employee stock option plan.
- Comprehensive 100% employer-paid health and dental premiums, a health and personal spending account.
- A dedicated desk in our Vancouver, BC HQ, in the heart of downtown, with a fridge stocked with healthy snacks and drinks, an onsite gym, and a gorgeous rooftop amenity. Open to Canada and US-based remote candidates.
- Enjoy a $20-per-day commuter benefit for every day you work in our Vancouver HQ.
- An engaging social calendar, including bi-weekly catered lunches, bi-weekly “Friday bar,” team workouts, annual summer party, and holiday party, two “onsite” all-team retreats each year, semi-annual team-building events, and Hiive Womens’ Network events.
