What we’re about

We’re Huler. A team of creative, problem-solving doers on a mission to bring simplicity back to the working day.

We’re not suits. We’re people who build smart, human-first tech that makes work feel calmer. We’re hell bent on drowning out the noise, ditching the enterprise fluff, and helping teams do their best work; without the headache.

Clarity over complexity is our MO. And that shows in how we work, too. No egos. Just sharp minds, straight talk, and work we’re proud of.

What we’re building

Huler is a Smart Intranet designed to bring the smartphone experience to the digital workplace. While most ‘modern’ intranets claim to cut through the noise, Huler drowns it out. It pulls everything people need - tools, content, updates - into one beautiful, personal hub.

No endless features. No clutter. Just a seamless, intuitive platform that actually works, and looks damn good doing it.

Who we’re looking for

We’re scaling fast and are looking for brilliant humans who want to build something that matters, and have a great time doing it.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Huler, you'll architect and develop scalable SaaS solutions while providing technical leadership to the team. You will collaborate with our Backend Tech Lead to drive continuous delivery of valuable software and make key technical decisions.

A crucial aspect of your role will be mentoring your fellow engineers and fostering a culture of engineering excellence.

What To Expect

We believe that finding a new job should be an enjoyable process. We’re passionate about bringing our whole selves to work, so what you see is what you get. All we ask from you, is that you show us your authentic self. We’re looking for people who bring something new to the team, who add to our culture and make it even greater.

If we think you'd be a great addition to our team, we'll invite you to a first stage interview where you'll meet Ella our Employee Experience Lead, and our Back End Tech Lead, Ryan. This will be a call to get to know you and for you to ask any questions about the role. We’ll also find out why Huler interests you and what you feel you can add to our team. Next, you’ll be invited to complete a short task followed by a final stage interview with Ryan and another member of our Tech Team. Here, we will talk through your experience in more detail.

At Huler, we’re on a mission to build an inclusive, welcoming culture that encourages and actively supports diversity and 97% of our teams believe we’re headed in the right direction. Our race, gender, religion, background, sexuality and beliefs are what make us unique. Our people are expected to always treat each other with respect, care and compassion. This starts from the moment you apply for a role at Huler, so we want you know we’re an equal opportunity employer. We will always strive to be as inclusive as possible in all aspects of employment and have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind.

If you require any assistance, accommodations, or support during the application or interview stages, please don't hesitate to contact Ella Holland at ella.holland@huler.io. We're happy to help!
