About Us
We are building Swan — a fast-moving product where ownership, speed, and impact matter more than hierarchy or process. We value engineers who think like owners, solve problems end-to-end, and use modern tools (including AI) to maximize output.
Role Overview
We are looking for a
Senior Specialist Engineer (6+ years)
who can independently own and deliver complex features, design scalable systems, and act as a technical pillar for the team.
This role is for someone who:
Thinks in
systems, not just tickets
Delivers with
speed + quality + ownership
Uses
AI and automation as force multipliers
Can
lead without authority
and raise the bar for the team
Key Responsibilities
Ownership & Execution
Own features end-to-end: from design → development → deployment → monitoring
Take responsibility for delivery timelines and outcomes, not just effort
Make tough trade-offs between speed, scalability, and maintainability
Operate independently with minimal supervision
System Design & Architecture
Design scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient systems
Work across services including Node.js, Golang microservices, and serverless architectures
Ensure strong data design across Cosmos DB and PostgreSQL
Drive architectural decisions and improve existing systems
AI & Automation-Driven Development
Use AI tools (Copilot, GPT, internal tooling) in day-to-day development
Build internal automations to improve developer productivity and reduce manual work
Optimize workflows across development, testing, and deployment
Continuously find ways to
do more with less effort using AI
Technical Leadership
Act as a mentor and technical guide for other engineers
Set high standards for code quality, design, and execution
Lead by example through strong ownership and output
Influence decisions without relying on hierarchy
Operational Excellence
Ensure services are production-ready, observable, and reliable
Participate in debugging, incident resolution, and performance optimization
Work closely with DevOps and product teams to ensure smooth releases
Tech Stack
Backend:
Node.js, Golang (microservices)
Frontend:

Solid understanding of
system design, distributed systems, and APIs
Experience working with
cloud platforms (preferably Azure)
Proven ability to
independently deliver complex systems/features
Strong problem-solving and decision-making ability
Must-Have Mindset
High ownership: treats problems as their own, not “assigned work”
Output-driven: focuses on impact, not hours worked
Pragmatic: balances perfection with speed
Curious & experimental: actively explores AI and new tools
Builder mindset: prefers creating solutions over managing processes
Good to Have
Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems
Prior startup experience or working in fast-paced environments
Experience building internal tools or developer productivity systems
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
What Success Looks Like
Features are delivered faster without compromising quality
Systems are scalable, reliable, and easy to extend
Reduced engineering friction through automation and better design
Other engineers level up by working with this person
