We 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.

You’ll balance maintaining existing systems with developing new features, ensuring stability while pushing innovation.
