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.
Are we a good match?
As an Employee Experience Specialist, you'll be part of a small People team that helps make SwingDev–a hippo company a unique place to work. A lot of this job is hands-on: on-site events, remote bonding activities, employer branding, and more. It needs good planning and attention to detail, but also an open mind, creativity, and energy to bring things to life.
Some initiatives you'll own, some you'll support, always with help from the team that have each other’s back. People should feel comfortable coming to you, because you're around, you care, and you ask the right questions.
Every company is different, so copying what worked somewhere else is not enough here. Some of our best events and initiatives were a bit unusual — we're fine with trying something first, or doing it differently, as long as it makes sense and feels like us.
