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:

As a Mid Backend Developer, you’ll join our Risk & Capital team, the business charter building the foundation for how we understand and manage risk across Hippo. Your work will focus on creating the data infrastructure we currently lack – building integrations, microservices, and data pipelines to connect us with industry-standard risk and capital models and tools. This is a long-term greenfield project where you’ll tackle complex, large-scale data challenges with a modern tech stack, collaborate closely with a talented team, and develop deep expertise in the insurance carrier domain. It’s a chance to make a real impact while growing your career.

What will you do?

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 design, build, and maintain reliable backend solutions that power critical parts of the business.
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 balance maintaining existing systems with developing new features, ensuring stability while pushing innovation.
