Mid Back-end Engineer (NodeJS) – Risk&Capital

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.

• Have a great command of English (written & spoken).

You will get extra points for: 
• Experience working with Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery.
