We are a Polish branch of a fast-growing
InsurTech product company from Silicon Valley - Hippo Insurance. Our mission is to revolutionize home insurance in the US, starting from IoT monitoring devices to our industry-leading software. How do we want to get there? We need a top-notch talent, just like you! 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 DevOps Engineer with a knack for data and looking to shake things up while having a good time, you've come to the right place.
🚀About the role:At Hippo, we're tackling complex challenges in engineering, data, and operations that are transforming an outdated industry. As a Senior Data Platform DevOps Engineer, you'll play a key role in expanding our suite of products, supporting both mature offerings and new MVPs. In this role, you'll design, build, and maintain secure, scalable data infrastructure while collaborating with teams to ensure our systems meet the highest standards of availability and performance.If you're passionate about debugging distributed systems, streamlining data pipelines, and driving projects from start to finish, we'd love to hear from you!
What will you do?
- You'll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining secure, scalable data infrastructure and pipelines, automating data integration and processing tasks to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently.
- You'll work with different teams to make sure data is handled properly and follow best practices for data governance and compliance.
- You'll help make Data Engineers and developers more productive by providing tools, metrics, CI/CD processes, and other self-service tools.
- You'll have the chance to work with various cloud providers, databases, and open-source tools like Terraform, Vault, Kubernetes, and Docker.
- You'll use Golang, Python, and scripting languages like bash daily to build and scale tools, APIs, and serverless functions.
- You'll have huge creative freedom and ability to put your mark on the project, and you will take ownership and responsibility for what you do.
- You’ll have a lot of chances to develop your skills as well as learn a lot about how tech business is done in the US (if you want to).
We might be a match if you…
- Have at least 6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Data Engineering, and you know your way around build/release automation and data governance.
- Are skilled in Golang, Python, or Bash (or at least one of them).
- Know your way around data storage and processing tech — whether it’s SQL/NoSQL databases, data warehouses, object storage (like S3), or ETL tools.
- Understand AWS VPC or GCP networking, including key concepts like network separation, security groups, and ACLs.
- Have hands-on experience with tools like Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD systems (open source or hosted), Terraform, and Airflow.
- Are comfortable working with logging and metrics systems to keep things running smoothly.
- Enjoy working in a small, focused, and highly efficient team.

You will get extra points for:- Experience with messaging systems like SNS/SQS or Kafka.
