Swarmia was founded to help engineering organizations ship exceptional software at a sustainable pace. As Swarmia engineers, we’re not only building a platform for our customers but also ourselves. We raised €10M in Series A funding in June 2025 and are growing fast. To help scale and expand the product, we’re looking for several Senior Software Engineers who are both generalists and specialists: you know a little about everything and a lot about something. ## Examples of things you'll do
The product: You’ll get to work on a domain that’s relevant and interesting to software engineers. Unlike many other tools in this space, Swarmia is not a tool for stack ranking individual engineers or just a dashboard for the leadership — instead, we serve useful insights and tools for the whole engineering organization. As an engineer, this means you deeply understand the problem space. The developer experience: Since our product is about sensible software development, we take our own practices seriously. We’re deliberate about how we work, but processes aren’t heavier than they need to be. As one of our engineers described it after his first few weeks at Swarmia: “It feels like a bunch of adults came together and spent some serious time to figure out how to do this software thing well.”
The people: You’ll get very experienced colleagues with wide skillsets and different backgrounds. We pride ourselves in hiring and retaining smart, kind, and helpful people who are guaranteed to both teach you something and learn something from you. The communication: The psychological safety here is real — people voice their concerns without fear, and we’re fast to try new things and scrap them if they don’t work. We’re deeply invested in the product and can have disagreements, but when we do, it’s always in a professional and empathetic manner. Low hierarchy in practice. No blame culture. The transparency: We believe in total transparency across departments and leadership. You’ll get full access to all business metrics, leadership team meeting notes, and board meeting memos. We all contribute to this by having our conversations on public Slack channels, openly sharing meeting notes, and collaborating on request for comments (RFC) docs before implementing any bigger changes. The balance: We’re a startup with the maturity of a more established company. Things just work, but your initiative matters a lot. We maintain a great work-life balance, don’t do any crunching, and keep up a sustainable pace without compromising quality. ## Tech stack
Strict-mode TypeScript everywhere with high test coverage. React frontend using Apollo and a design system that’s tested with React Testing Library. Node backend with Apollo Server, slonik, and PostgreSQL. Infrastructure automated with Terraform on Google Cloud (GKE, PubSub) with automatic deployments to production after each change. We don’t expect you to know all these tools beforehand, though - we’d be happy to show you the ropes. We care more about how you think and how fast you learn. ## Interview process
We want to see how you work, not test your leetcode skills. The process includes:
Your dev environment sets up with a single script. You’ll push your first change on day one. Over your first 90 days, you’ll ship increasingly complex features — from simple updates to prominent features. You’ll get a designated onboarding buddy from your team, plus the whole team running training sessions on our culture, product, and technical architecture. You’ll have regular 1:1s with your team lead to calibrate and give feedback. ## Benefits
