SwingDev—a hippo company is the Polish branch of a fast-growing InsurTech product company – Hippo Insurance. We’re here to make home insurance smarter and more proactive, using tech to bring fresh solutions. We also create digital products that support our customers, always focusing on what really makes an impact.
Putting a lot of effort into hiring top-tier devs, designers, PMs, and QAs, is a proof that we care a lot about tech experience, the attitude, human approach, and what we could call „culture fit”.
„SwingDev is all about people” - yes, it may sound a bit cliche. But whether we're writing code or just hanging out, we know that people are at the heart of everything we do. We like to have a good time and keep things light, even when we're tackling big projects. We could brag about what’s making us special, but we’ve boiled it down to two key ingredients: mature, companionable people who, rather than compete, prefer to inspire and have each other’s backs; a culture of trust, empathy, and positivity that keeps us together, lets us interact as teammates and friends, and truly enjoy the ride.
As a Mid Backend Developer, you’ll help build and modernize our insurance platform. You’ll own end-to-end development of critical components – from integrating with insurance providers to designing APIs used across teams. Beyond coding, you’ll collaborate closely with others, discuss requirements, and propose solutions. We’re looking for someone ambitious, eager to grow, and ready to learn – strong Node.js skills are a plus, but the right mindset for growth matters for us most.
What will you do?
- You will work together with senior engineers and architects to design, build, and support APIs and backend services for our Insurance Platform.
- You will work closely with Product Managers to understand business processes, rules, and requirements, and turn them into high-quality code with automated tests, and deploy them to production.
- You will monitor the health and performance of deployed services – proactively detect issues and make sure system is reliable.
- You will investigate and resolve production issues by analyzing code, data, and system behavior and then propose and implement timely fixes to minimize user impact.
- You will create clear technical design documentation
- You will show solutions to the engineering teams, talk about the pros and cons, and help everyone agree on the main architecture decisions.
We might be a match if you…
- Have at least 3 years of hands-on experience with Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
- Possess a good, practical knowledge of at least one relational database system, e.g. PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server.
- Understand and have worked with microservices architectures.
- Bring hands-on experience with AWS.
- Can engage in discussions and decisions regarding software design and architecture.
- Have experience implementing the test pyramid (unit, integration, e2e tests).
- Are a good communicator with the ability to convey ideas clearly across technical and non-technical teams.
- Can demonstrate responsibility, accountability, and a strong sense of ownership in delivering high-quality work.
- Are set on collaborative environments, working effectively with team members.
- Have a good command of English (written & spoken).
- Are available in the afternoons – we prioritize everyone’s personal time and work-life fit, but since we work in multinational teams, occasional evening meetings may be necessary to ensure smooth communication across time zones.
- Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js
- Docker and container-based deployment technologies (e.g. Kubernetes/Fargate),
- AWS, Grafana
- Automated software testing on unit/integration/end-to-end levels.
