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, Webflow, Superhuman, and Lovable.

We’re a team of experienced engineers who care deeply about our craft. We practice what we preach: we use Swarmia to build 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

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer with deep infrastructure expertise to help us build and operate production systems that our customers rely on daily.

Our infrastructure mainly runs on Google Cloud and is managed with Terraform. Since starting the company five years ago, we’ve reached 99.9% uptime every year. Our code is continuously deployed to production, with high automated test coverage. While we’re very experienced with building production systems that scale, you will be the first person to be fully dedicated to the Platform & Infrastructure work with this title.

Examples of things you'll do

Assist product teams in running their Kubernetes payloads and automating manual steps.

Design and implement infrastructure changes using Terraform

Collaborate with product teams to optimize application performance and resource utilization

Look near: Notice our message queue getting backed up? Dive in, analyze the bottleneck, and implement a solution before it affects our users

Look far: See our cloud costs trending up? Analyze usage patterns, identify optimization opportunities, and work with the team to implement efficient solutions

Configure VPCs and securely segment production networks

Write documentation and playbooks with the team - we prefer collaborative problem-solving over working in silos

Set up and fine-tune monitoring and SLO alerting in our observability stack to catch issues before they impact customers

Plan when to upsize our PostgreSQL servers or bring more machines to our Kubernetes cluster.

Go spelunking in Google Security Command Center, review security posture, and implement improvements to keep our platform secure and compliant

Design and implement automated disaster recovery procedures, then work with the team to practice them regularly

Automate away manual operational tasks - if you find yourself doing something more than twice, it's probably time to automate it

Work with the team to implement and maintain compliance requirements while keeping our development workflow smooth

Jump into a customer support chat when there's a problem with a customer's data sync

Optimize PostgreSQL performance by identifying table and index bloat and tuning pg_repack runs

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 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.”
