About your team

At Hive, our mission is to make it greener.

With a little help from our friends at British Gas we’re helping customers to be waaaaay smarter with their heating and giving them control of their homes like never before. Through our range of thermostats, EV chargers, solar panels and energy‑saving light bulbs, we’re here to help every home reach its eco‑energy potential, from little switches that make a big difference.

As a Software Engineer, you'll join our Platform Team, developing and enhancing the services that power Hive's smart home ecosystem while supporting customers on their journey to net zero. Working with modern AWS technologies, including Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Event Bridge, and Cloud Formation, you'll design and build scalable, resilient cloud‑native solutions that support everything from smart heating and energy management to electric vehicle charging.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team that embraces innovation, explores emerging technologies, and solves complex engineering challenges in a fast‑moving industry where no two days are the same. If you’re passionate about technology, cloud engineering, and creating solutions that make a real difference, Hive is the place to do it.
