Your mission

  • You will have the opportunity to solve complex problems in one of the most demanding IT domains, which will require you to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends in the industry.

  • You will be challenged to improve the performance of a system with rapidly growing load, and will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that will keep you engaged and excited about your work every day.

  • You will collaborate with other team members and stakeholders to identify areas for process improvement

Preferred experience

You’re a great match if:

  • You possess strong knowledge of “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC) tools, such as Terraform.

  • You have a good understanding of AWS architecture and services, Kubernetes, and Observability/Alerting tools like Prometheus and Grafana.

  • You have experience with CI/CD processes.

  • Ideally, you also have a good knowledge of Kafka, Python, Go, and security/encryption best practices.

  • You keep up-to-date with technology trends through news and meetups.

  • You are proficient in both English and French.

  • Our ideal teammate: Sociable. Skilled. Empathetic. Frank. We love to challenge each other, and we leave our egos at the door

It’s okay if you don’t tick all the boxes — don’t let imposture syndrome prevent you from applying! 🙌

Perks of being a Swanee:

  • ESOP packages available 😊

  • Flexible remote policy, ask us about it!

  • Twice a year we go somewhere gorgeous (a chateau, a mountain) where we reconnect, deep-dive into big topics, and relax.

  • This isn’t a perk, it should be the rule, but diversity and inclusion are important at Swan. We’re working hard to get better every day.

Our values:

Be human: Be straightforward, transparent, and sincerely care. It’s all about integrity and doing the right thing.
