About Hex
At Hex we’re striving to improve the world through partnerships with responsible organisations. We do this by creating platforms that drive conscious, ethical and powerful change. We look to innovate both in what we produce and how we produce it.
Hex is a digital product and growth agency with a diverse group of incredibly talented people from all over the world. Our award-winning team is currently 26 strong, and composed of 11 different nationalities. We believe safe spaces where everyone can be their authentic selves are the key to a strong team - we welcome and embrace all identities, cultures, and backgrounds.
We work with founders, startups, businesses, educational institutions and worldwide organisations to deliver impactful messaging, facilitate action and change the world.
With our start ups, we build out their business, product, culture and processes, often making their first key technical hires and building out their internal teams in partnership with our own. We mostly work on greenfield builds, using cutting edge technology to build excellent products.
About the Opportunity
Hex partners with organisations and start ups to help define and build their brand, product and marketing functions. We collaborate closely with our clients to design, develop, build and launch high-touch applications that change the world. We’re most active in the first 1-2 years of a start up’s lifecycle, making key technical decisions for their product and building out their first featureset.
This role is for a key individual contributor to develop and maintain stateless APIs for our clients, as well as Hex internal and external projects. These applications are built primarily with Laravel and GraphQL, and serve frontend websites and native apps. We're looking for someone comfortable making key technical decisions and happy to set technical direction for the products, while delivering high quality code.
If you love creating greenfield, stateless APIs that are scalable and performant, and are a big fan of doing that with Laravel, then this is the role for you.
