Job description

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.

So if you're a IT Project Manager looking to shake things up and have a good time while you're at it, you’ve come to the right place.

What will you do?

• You’ll help create projects that can revolutionize the insurance industry. These projects may involve developing mobile applications, web portals, or large-scale data processing engines.
• You’ll work closely with a team of outstanding designers, developers, testers, Engineering and Product Managers. Your role will involve facilitating smooth Scrum routines and collaborating with our Polish-American teams.
• You’ll directly communicate with Product Managers and Engineering Managers to assist in the creation of exceptional products and address significant challenges.
• You’ll define project scope and develop an execution plan, leading project teams and managing relationships with our team's projects.
• You’ll be managing risks and identify internal and cross team dependencies with team support.
• You’ll be responsible for mediating conflicts, clarifying roles and ensuring alignment across multiple workstreams.

We might be a match if you…

• Have 2–6 years of experience in project/program management in tech environment.
• Have experience working in a software house or tech company.
• Are able to understand the company business and present goals of the project to the team.
• Are a well-rounded person with amazing written and spoken communication skills in English (C1/C2) and Polish (C2).
• Are able to stay calm and professional under pressure.
• Can juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball and communicate clearly with both tech and non-tech teams.
• Understand software development.
• Have experience working in an international environment (US ideally).
• Have worked in small environments (ideally startups/scale-ups).
• Are available in the afternoons – we prioritize everyone’s personal time and work-life fit, but since we work in multinational teams, occasional evening meetings may be necessary to ensure smooth communication across time zones.

You will get extra points for:

• Experience overseeing the development and implementation of data pipelines and analytics platforms.
