SwingDev is part of a fast-growing insurtech company from Silicon Valley, listed on NYSE – Hippo Insurance. Our technology-first approach is modernizing the otherwise stale home insurance industry, from IOT monitoring devices to our industry-leading software 🚀
Even though we've become a part of something bigger, joining SwingDev you'll feel the startup vibe created by people who simply like each other and have each other's back. We believe the culture of trust and integrity keeps us together, and it led us to where we are today - feeling happy with our work and interacting with people we call friends.
We are a Polish branch of a fastgrowing 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 industryleading software.
How do we want to get there? We need a topnotch talent, just like you!
Putting a lot of effort into hiring toptier professionals 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 were 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 were 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.
So if youre a DevOps Engineer with a knack for security and looking to shake things up while having a good time, youve come to the right place. 🚀
About the role:
At Hippo, were tackling complex challenges in engineering, data, and operations that are transforming an outdated insurance industry. As a DevSecOps Engineer, youll play a key role in expanding our suite of products, supporting both mature offerings and new MVPs. In this role, you’ll use your understanding of cybersecurity and risk management to drive security projects from concept to completion. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders to create effective security designs and protocols while securing microservices and monitoring for threats.
If you’re passionate about crafting clear security designs and protocols, driving security projects from start to finish, securing microservices, and identifying vulnerabilities in distributed systems while analyzing logs and security signals, we’d love to hear from you!
What will you do?
In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with various stakeholders, including Security Engineers, Engineering Managers, and developers to create effective security designs and protocols while securing microservices and monitoring threats. That’s why this position requires not just strong technical skills, but also great communication abilities, a knack for mentoring, and knowledgesharing.
You’ll be responsible for building a worldclass, scalable, and resilient security infrastructure that keeps the Hippo platform safe and sound.
You’ll boost developer productivity by integrating security tools and processes into our CICD pipelines, as well as monitoring systems and cloud environments to ensure everything runs smoothly.
You’ll be using Golang, Python, and other scripting languages like Bash on a daily basis to automate security operations, build secure APIs, and develop serverless security functions.
You’ll get to work with various cloud providers, databases, opensource tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker, and a range of security tools like CSPM, DSPM, WAF, ZTN, DAST, SAST, Vault, and more, giving you a chance to explore and enhance our security setup.
You’ll be the advocate for a securityfirst mindset within the DevOps team and across the organization, promoting awareness and best practices related to infrastructure security.
Youll be able to put your mark on the project, and you will take ownership and responsibility for what you do. This isn’t a “just keep the lights on” role — you’ll shape how things are done from the ground up.
You’ll work closely with other Senior DevOps Engineers, sharing responsibility for oncall rotations and keeping the platform healthy.
