Swifteam helps you manage the remote team's onboarding/offboarding and device purchasing, financing, approvals, storage, logistics, and management.

We’re looking for people with a strong background or interest in building successful products or systems; you’re comfortable in dealing with lots of moving pieces; you have exquisite attention to detail, and you’re comfortable learning new technologies. Software engineering and innovation are at the core of our team.

As a Backend Engineer, you will build the core of products, services, and APIs in a spectacularly robust fashion.

You will:

Design, build and maintain APIs, services, and systems across BlaBla’s engineering, content, and marketing teams
Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large-scale
Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes

You may be fit for this role if you:

Enjoy and have experience building backends for mobile applications
Think about systems and services and write high-quality code. We work mostly in Scala and Python. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework
Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
Take pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems
Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts

What’s it like to work at Swifteam?

Swifteam was launched in 2022 and accelerated by the Y Combinator program. We were building a language learning product and decided to pivot the team to focus on solving the biggest issue we faced as a remote team.

We look at Swifteam as a constant work in progress. We’re here to support each other in our curiosity and creativity – which we pursue thoughtful discussion and knowledge-sharing among a diverse set of peers and colleagues.

We want to hear from you and share with you our vision. We will love to connect people passionate about remote work and productivity solutions as much as we do.
