Poland onlyWe are a Polish branch of a fast-growing InsurTech product company from Silicon Valley - Hippo Insurance. Our mission is to revolutionize home insurance in the US, starting from IoT monitoring devices to our industry-leading software.
How do we want to get there? We need a top-notch talent, just like you!
Putting a lot of effort into hiring top-tier professionals is 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 cliché. 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; and a culture of trust, empathy, and positivity that keeps us together, lets us interact as teammates and friends, and truly enjoy the ride.
About the role:
You have an opportunity to join an exciting greenfield project at the heart of our business as a Mid Backend Developer, where your work will have a direct and lasting impact. You’ll help build a modern technology stack from the ground up for a hybrid insurance carrier, tackling complex, large-scale data challenges and shaping foundational systems that will support years of growth. You’ll have the chance to become a domain expert, take on leadership responsibilities, and contribute to Hippo's business-critical, fast-growing insurtech venture. You’ll collaborate with an experienced team, influence architecture decisions, and play a key role in preparing the platform for dynamic, long-term growth.
What will you do?
- You’ll design, build, and maintain reliable backend solutions that form the foundation of our platform, while occasionally touching the frontend layer to ensure seamless integration.
- You’ll partner closely with product, data engineering, analytics, and business teams across multiple domains to drive meaningful projects from concept to delivery.
- You’ll actively shape our software architecture, bringing your ideas and expertise into technical discussions.
- You’ll work hand-in-hand with product and quality assurance teams to ensure your code meets the highest standards of reliability and performance.
