Job Description
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 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; 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 you’re a Fullstack Engineer skilled in Node.js and React.js, looking to shake things up while having a good time, you’ve come to the right place! 🚀
About the role:
As a Fullstack Engineer, you’ll join our Growth Operations team, the charter responsible for building and maintaining the internal systems that connect our agents with external insurance carriers and power the agencies operating on our platform.
Our software sits directly in the path of revenue. When these systems work well, agents can move faster, recover lost leads, and deliver quotes with confidence. You’ll help strengthen and evolve this platform by improving reliability, modernizing core workflows, increasing visibility into system health, and building scalable carrier integrations that reduce friction, failures, and wasted sales effort.
What will you do?
- You’ll build the next generation of our error classification model and carrier integration framework.
- You’ll support Hippo’s “Getting Serious About Data” initiative by reviewing existing data models are defining the team’s new data architecture.
- You’ll implement internal applications to allow the business to manage insurance carrier data and view dashboards of carrier related data.
- You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, and business teams to drive meaningful projects from concept to delivery.
- You’ll implement backends and their interactions with various data stores and other APIs (including 3rd party APIs).
- You’ll actively shape our software architecture, bringing your ideas and expertise into technical discussions.
- You’ll work closely with product managers and QA engineers to ensure we deliver software of the highest quality.
- You’ll investigate and resolve production issues by analyzing code, data, and system behavior and then propose and implement timely fixes to minimize user impact.
- You’ll balance maintaining existing systems with developing new features, ensuring stability while pushing innovation.
We might be a match if you…
- Have at least 3 years of hands-on experience with Node.js, Nest.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
- Have 1+ years of experience building front-end applications from the ground up (React experience preferred).
- Possess a good, practical knowledge of at least one relational database system, e.g. PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server.
- Know your way around microservices and cloud environments.
- Have experience implementing the test pyramid (unit, integration, e2e tests).
- Are a team player and 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.
- Utilize good security practices effectively.
- Show readiness to learn and expand your skill set as required by ongoing projects.
- Have a good command of English (written & spoken).
- Are available to work in the afternoon hours, including occasional evening meetings due to U.S. time zone collaboration (we respect work-life balance but prioritize effective communication).
You will get extra points for:
- Experience with git, source control system and code reviews.
- Experience working in a legacy codebase.

- and… welcome aboard! 👋
