Full Stack Software Engineer (Kraków/Hybrid)

About The Company

• The Swarm is a start-up with offices in San Francisco and Kraków, building a new professional network management platform. 

• The company is generating revenue and has received funding from top-tier VC firms and strategic partners. 

• The team is currently 12 people. The CEO is a second-time founder, and the founding team has a strong start-up pedigree with 9-figure exits under their belt. 

About The Role

• We are looking for a talented Full Stack Engineer to help us expand our portfolio of products in a fast-paced start-up environment. In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications across frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, databases, and external integrations.

• We work in small project teams, but we will expect you to be independent and act as a product-minded engineer who doesn't just write code but helps shape the roadmap and understands the user impact of every feature.

• Proficiency in TypeScript is a must. Proficiency in React framework would be ideal, but we’re open to candidates with experience in other modern JS frameworks. 

• Strong back-end skills are mandatory. Proficiency in Go would be ideal, but we’re open to candidates with experience in other back-end programming languages who want to switch to Go. Our team has strong Go backgrounds, and we will provide mentorship and resources to help you bridge the gap.

• A decent understanding of the technologies we use is mandatory: AWS, GitHub & GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch, Terraform, Docker.

• We look for someone with an enthusiasm for AI coding tools, ideally with experience in using them in a professional and production environment. 

• A good command of English is mandatory. 

Compensation and benefits

• Terms, compensation, and contract type are to be negotiated individually.

• A significant equity package (stock options in our US company) will be part of the compensation (on top of the salary).

• Flexible hours and a hybrid remote work policy. However, occasional visits to the office are mandatory, so only candidates based in or around Kraków will be considered.

• Private health insurance. 

• Unlimited PTO, a culture that encourages “recharging”.

• $100 monthly stipend for work-related purchases (equipment, gym, etc.). 

• Laptop, monitor, etc.

Next steps

• If you would like to apply or have questions, feel free to drop us a line: praca@theswarm.com 

• The recruitment process will include a screening call and a technical interview with members of our engineering team. The best candidates will be invited for an in-person interview with our CTO. We don’t have a fixed timeline to fill this role; we want to optimize for finding the best talent and the best fit. We are ready to move forward very quickly once we find that.
