Hippo Tech Stack
Digital services firm blending design, data engineering, and cloud infrastructure
Hippo is a UK-based digital services consultancy built around a design-first, user-centric delivery model. The tech stack reveals a mature, multi-cloud engineering operation: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and a full observability layer (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). Current hiring leans into design (4 roles) and engineering (4 roles) at senior and lead levels, while active projects focus on CI/CD for data workflows and Microsoft Fabric pipeline optimization—signaling either a shift toward data-intensive client engagements or internal capability building. Pain points around pipeline reliability and clients not grasping user-centered delivery suggest friction between technical delivery and client perception of design value.
