Senior Software Engineer

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. ABOUT SWARMIA Swarmia is a SaaS product that gives engineering organizations the visibility they need to ship faster without compromising culture or quality. Our customers include some of the world’s best software companies, such as Miro, Superhuman, and Bolt. We’re a team of experienced engineers who care deeply about our craft. We practice what we preach: we use Swarmia to build Swarmia https://www.swarmia.com/blog/how-we-use-swarmia-at-swarmia/, and we’ve figured out how to ship fast while keeping technical debt low and our work-life balance healthy. ABOUT THE ROLE AND HOW WE WORK You’ll work across the full stack — from database schema design to UI components — shipping features that directly impact how engineering teams work. We’re generalists who happen to specialize in different areas, and we expect everyone to be comfortable owning projects end-to-end. Every Friday, we demo what we’ve built that week. People are genuinely proud to show their work. That’s the culture we’ve created: solve real customer problems, ship continuously, and maintain a sustainable pace. No made-up deadlines, solo-projects, or needless bureaucracy. We value initiative, ownership, transparency, feedback, and collaboration. When you see something broken, you fix it. When you spot a challenge on the horizon, you discuss it with the team and start solving it. We have enough process not to worry about the basics, but total freedom to influence what matters. EXAMPLES OF THINGS YOU’LL DO - Work with product managers, designers, and your fellow engineers on planning and scoping new features. - Design and implement database schema changes and GraphQL API updates for new features. - Build UI components guided by our design system and React implementation. - Review at least as much code as you write. - Help teammates get unblocked. - Optimize slow queries by diving into Postgres EXPLAIN outputs. - Write complex SQL with nested or recursive CTEs (sometimes they don’t fit on your screen). - Integrate data from GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Linear APIs into useful features. - Jump into customer support chats to help debug technical issues. - Write a blog post about something you’ve been working on recently. - Fix things that bug you. - Tackle technical challenges before they become problems. WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN 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 https://www.swarmia.com/blog/dont-stack-rank-your-developers/ 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’r
