Why Hive?
Because of the innovation, no one has done this before as Hive does. Every day is yet another innovation. I wake up and I'm thinking" Okay Stefanos, today I'm going to discover something new". That is why I work at Hive!" Stefanos Antaris, Machine Learning Engineer * AKA the smartest person you'll ever know).

The Perks of Working At Hive

🏼 Have it your way! At the office, at home or on the ski slope (did I go too far?) - your way is the best way, but flexibility is everyone's way at Hive! We use Microsoft Teams to collaborate, we have digital kick-off's and provide you opportunities to work either remotely or in a hybrid setting.

Without you = no Hive? We are a fast-paced, global (over 35 nationalities among our 100 co-workers around the globe) scale-up company that empowers every single coworker. Everyone is unique and important for our growth. You will play an important role in the company’s future success.

🏽‍♀️ Flexibility (cannot say it enough)... We have flexible working hours to encourage work-life balance.

Contribution to innovation and a better world! Hive helps enterprises to communicate through video instead of flying people in from across the globe, which means Hive employees directly contribute to a greener world!

The boring but most important... salaries are good, insurance is good, awesome health benefits (but we hope you stay healthy)!
