Engineering at Hearth

Engineering team and processes

We have 4 “pods” within the Engineering team: Financial Products, Platform / Workflow, Backend / Infra, and Dev Tools. The first two are product focused pods and work really closely with the Product teams, sitting in on user interviews and brainstorming our upcoming features. The second two pods are more internal to the Engineering team and support the product focused pods, ensuring that we can scale our products effectively.

We operate on two week sprints in Jira where we draw from our product and engineering roadmaps. Each week we discuss ongoing projects, the roadmap and brainstorm ways in which we can iterate and improve upon our current processes. We also carve out time each week for Brain Gainz in which we learn something new outside the scope of our current tasks, be it a new frontend framework, cool new library we could use, or even learn Rust.

Technical Challenges

1) Zero to one on a new Banking product for home improvement contractors. We’re partnering with a Banking as a Service provider to allow for contractors to open up checking accounts for their businesses.

2) Create more products as part of the contractor’s workflow journey with their homeowner. We have Financing, Payments, and Contracts as part of our offering, and we’re currently building a Quotes product for our contractors to be able to digitally create and track their bids.

Projects you might work on

Build a Payments product in which Homeowners can pay Contractors for a home improvement project. Utilize Stripe Connect for the payment gateway but build out the concept of invoices, payment options, line items. And do it in a week... :)
Build an Invoice customization tool. Sit in on customer calls to listen to the problems areas Contractors have with existing software and determine a simple, elegant solution with product. Spearhead its implementation and keep track of how it performs once launched.
Create an external facing API for our customer data. Other software providers have expressed interest in integrating our services for shared customers. We've outgrown the manual hand hold and want to send them to our docs.

Working at Hearth

Our company values are:

Slope: We choose people that have a high learning potential. Employees solicit and give constructive feedback to better themselves and others.

Mutual Benefit: Not only do we want your skills to benefit the company, we'd like to equally benefit you on your journey. We allocate time for growth and want to see our employees leave Hearth in a dramatically better spot then when they arrived.

Truth: We hate the bureaucratic nature of larger companies and would rather be honest, open and empathetic with our co-workers. No posturing, just real growth.

Diversity and Inclusion

As we grow we are striving to have a diverse top of funnel candidate pool and run the exact same interview process for everyone.

Part of the reason I've stayed at Hearth for over 4 years (since month 3 of the company starting) is that you won't find a better group of people. Talk to anyone here and you'll find them to be friendly and inclusive, humble and intellectual. - Zak

At this time, Hearth does not have specific initiatives in place for those in underrepresented groups. We take pride in the culture we have built over the years but know that we have some work to do in order to make diversity and inclusion a larger focus at Hearth. Our HR team has committed to making progress on this front with goals of implementing tangible initiatives in 2021.
