About the role:

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 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 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 Mid Fullstack Engineer (frontend leaning) 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:
Join Hippo's CORE charter (Customer Onboarding, Retention and Engagement) – the team behind our mobile apps (iOS and Android) and Customer Portal, plus the backends that power them. You'll work alongside a group of Mobile engineers who also know their way around backend and frontend, supported by dedicated QA and a Designer. Lots of UI-heavy, user-facing work.  


What will you do?

You'll develop two core components: the Customer Portal (frontend, web) and the Backend-For-Frontend layer used by both Mobile and Portal clients for data exchange and functionality.

You'll work closely with Mobile-focused engineers, acting as the team's go-to person for Frontend.

You'll work in an agile environment focusing on projects that are impactful on our business.

You'll partner daily with QA and Design on user-facing features.

You'll support reliable databases and APIs for real-time automated decision-making. 

You'll deploy your software using industry-standard tooling like Kubernetes clusters, and Lambda functions. 

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 care deeply about security in everything you do and constantly raise the baseline of how we defend our user's data against external threats and themselves.  

You'll implement robust automated test suites to ensure high quality and low failure rate of delivered code. 

You'll work closely with Product Managers, Senior Engineers and Architects to understand business processes, rules, and requirements, and turn them into high-quality code with automated tests, and deploy them to production. 

You’ll have a lot of chances to develop your programming skills as well as learn a lot about how tech business is done in the US (if you want to). 

We might be a match if you…

Have at least 3 years of hands-on experience across both frontend and backend, ideally with stack: React, Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

Possess a good, practical knowledge of at least one relational database system, e.g. PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server.

Can engage in discussions and decisions regarding software design and architecture.

Have experience implementing the test pyramid (unit, integration, e2e tests).

Are 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.

Are a team player, ready to guide other experienced engineers as the team's Frontend go-to-person.

Have a sense of humor – seriously, it matters here.

Work well across teams – Product, Design, QA.

Are ambitious, hard-working, and like solving problems

Have a good command of English and Polish (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.

Familiarity with GraphQL, AWS, Grafana, Coralogix

Some mobile engineering exposure

Experience using AI-powered coding tools
