About Development

Werken bij HyvesHow do you store half a billion photos & videos? How do you serve 300 million webpages each day, with every page rendered in less than one second? And how do you port Hyves applications to the iPhone, Android and Blackberry-cellphones after that? Working at one of the largest websites in the Netherlands is not a small challenge.

Working at the development-department at Hyves is characterized by a high degree of innovativeness, creativity and fundamental hard-core computer science topics. From OpenSocial to object stores, from service layers to cross-platform native C++: at Hyves you will work with all modern object-oriented programming and -frameworks.

But all the technique aside, it's more fun to code 80% instead of documenting 80%. And to write a code for 9.3 million Hyvers instead of eight intranet users. You want to spend the rest of your life writing Access scripts, or build an application that runs on 3000 servers? We thought so.
