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 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.
So if you’re a Python Expert looking to shake things up and have a good time while you’re at it, you’ve come to the right place. 🚀
About the role
We’re looking for a self-driven, independent Senior Analytics Engineer to join our team. Our Actuarial and Analytics team covers Pricing, Reserving, Modeling, and Data Analytics, but you’ll be the only engineer working with them — at least for now!
What will you do?
- You’ll own and maintain our custom actuarial-toolkit Python codebase, which powers our data models, pipelines, and analytics tools.
- You’ll support the technical and process needs of the Actuarial & Analytics team.
- You’ll be the go-to expert for designing, writing, and deploying software, setting up procedures and best practices for the team.
- You’ll guide actuaries on how to write and maintain code for specific use cases.
- You’ll build and manage data pipelines to create accurate “golden datasets” for analytics.
- You’ll work closely with software and data engineers to integrate our models into production (this could involve writing scripts, collaborating on data design, or setting up APIs).
- You’ll provide technical guidance for predictive modeling projects, from data design to deployment.
- You’ll bridge the gap between data engineer and analyst, primarily focusing on transformation and structuring of data to enable actuaries and others to do effective analysis.
We might be a match if you…
- Have at least 6 years of industry experience in roles like Python Engineer or Data Engineer.
- Are highly proficient in Python (object-oriented programming) and have strong expertise in SQL.
- Have hands-on experience with data pipelines and data modeling.
- Enjoy working with analytics and predictive modeling.
- Are comfortable exploring and understanding the insurance and actuarial domain.
- Have a proven track record of solving complex engineering challenges across different companies and industries.
- Are an exceptional communicator, who fosters a collaborative environment and knows how to inspire and mentor others.
- Bring a strong product and business mindset, with the ability to align technical work with broader goals and explain complex topics in simple terms.
- Focuses on the big picture and demonstrates good judgement, making technical trade-offs between short-term and long-term solutions.
- Can independently translate business requirements into clear project scopes, technical designs, and reliable outcomes.
- Have a great command of English (both 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.
You will get extra points for:
- Insurance, property insurance, or finance experience.
- Experience with Luigi package in Python, BigQuery, Docker, Kubernetes.
Recruitment process:
- Send us your CV – it’s the best way for us to get to know you.
- Meet Gabi, one of our Recruiters.
- Join for a 60-minute technical discussion with one of our Senior Engineers.
- Talk to Damian & Jake (Managers).
- Meet on the final stage with Marcin and Alicja.
- and… welcome aboard! 👋
