We empower software companies to embed banking features like accounts, cards, and payments directly into their products, under their own brand.Swan processes over €2.5 billion in monthly transactions for more than 150 companies - like Pennylane, Indy, Agicap, Libeo, and Lucca.\nFounded in 2019, the company has received growth capital from leading investors such as Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Bpifrance and Eight Roads. Swan is a principal member of Mastercard and a licensed financial institution, regulated by the French banking authority (ACPR).\nOur mission\nBanking belongs in business software\nMany software companies already serve small businesses incredibly well: helping them send invoices, run payroll, manage inventory, and more. They’re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.\nBut when it comes to financial workflows, there’s still a gap. Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow, tracking payments, or reconciling accounts happen outside the software, across spreadsheets, email threads, banking portals.\nIt’s a missed opportunity. Business software shouldn’t just record financial activity - it should run it.\nTo learn more about us: About Swan, Our story.\nJob description\nWorking within Swan’s Core Infrastructure team, you will help ensure the reliability, scalability, security, and performance of the platforms that support our financial services. You will take ownership of well-scoped services and operational incidents, improve observability, automate repetitive tasks, and collaborate closely with development, product, and security teams.\nThis is an independent engineering role for someone who has developed solid operational foundations and is ready to take greater ownership of production systems. You will contribute to incident response, infrastructure improvements, service design reviews, and the continuous improvement of our reliability practices.\nMain responsibilities\nOn a daily basis, you will:\nAct as a primary responder for well-understood production incidents and participate independently in the on-call rotation.\n\nAssess the impact of incidents, including transaction volume affected, potential revenue impact, and implications for data integrity.\n\nInvestigate operational issues using logs, metrics, dashboards, and distributed tracing, then document clear incident updates for stakeholders.\n\nContribute to postmortems, update runbooks, identify recurring incident patterns, and suggest preventive measures.\n\nCreate and maintain dashboards, alerts, and basic service-level indicators for the services you support.\n\nTune alert thresholds to reduce noise and improve the quality of operational signals.\n\nParticipate in system design reviews, with a particular focus on reliability, operability, failure modes, and production readiness.\n\nImplement reliability improvements such as health checks, retries with exponential backoff, circuit breakers, and appropriate monitoring.\n\nManage cloud resources and contribute to Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform.\n\nWrite automation scripts and small internal tools in Bash, Python, or Go to reduce manual toil and improve operational efficiency.\n\nContribute to CI/CD pipelines and automate routine maintenance tasks such as backup verification, certificate renewal, and log management.\n\nParticipate in infrastructure code reviews and help maintain high standards for safe, repeatable changes.\n\nSupport security and compliance activities, including PCI DSS controls, ISO 27001 initiatives, security remediation, data classification, and encryption requirements.\n\nMonitor resource utilisation, provide basic capacity forecasts, and implement practical cost optimisation measures such as rightsizing resources and removing unused infrastructure.\n\nCollaborate with development, product, and security teams to improve the resilience and operability of services.\n\nProvide clear handovers, maintain high-quality documentation, and communicate technical topics effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nUse approved AI tools responsibly to support tasks such as code generation, documentation, and log analysis, while validating outputs and protecting sensitive information.\n\nYour team\nCore Infrastructure is responsible for building and operating the foundations that enable Swan’s products to remain reliable as the business grows. We work closely with development and other technical teams to improve system resilience, operational efficiency, and customer experience.\nWe value ownership, pragmatism, knowledge sharing, and open communication. Engineers are encouraged to challenge ideas constructively, document what they learn, and continuously improve the way we build and operate services. You will work in a supportive environment where reliability is a shared responsibility and where operational excellence is developed through collaboration.\nTogether alongside Engineering Productivity, our squad constitutes the broader Platform Engineering team.\nPreferred experience\nYou’re a great match if:\nYou have typically 2 to 4 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, software engineering, or a related field.\n\nYou have hands-on experience supporting production services and participating in an on-call rotation.\n\nYou can independently respond to well-understood incidents, follow escalation procedures, and contribute to postmortems and runbook improvements.\n\nYou are comfortable working with logs, metrics, dashboards, alerting, and basic distributed tracing.\n\nYou understand the Four Golden Signals: latency, traffic, errors, and saturation.\n\nYou have experience creating dashboards and meaningful alerts, and understand the fundamentals of SLIs and SLOs.\n\nYou have practical experience with cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS, including compute, storage, networking, and managed services.\n\nYou have experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent tools.\n\nYou can write automation scripts in one or more languages such as Bash, Python, or Go.\n\nYou understand CI/CD practices and have contributed to deployment or infrastructure automation.\n\nYou have a working understanding of high availability, fault tolerance, redundancy, health checks, retries, circuit breakers, and failure recovery.\n\nYou are familiar with event-driven architectures and message queuing technologies such as Kafka or AWS SQS.\n\nYou understand the operational implications of distributed systems, including consistency, availability, and partition tolerance.\n\nYou have an awareness of security and compliance requirements relevant to financial services, such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, encryption, least privilege, and data classification.\n\nYou are comfortable monitoring resource usage, thinking about capacity, and identifying basic cloud cost optimisation opportunities.\n\nYou communicate clearly, document your work thoroughly, and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.\n\nNice to have\nAWS certification, such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Associate level.\n\nExperience with Kubernetes and container orchestration.\n\nExperience with observability platforms such as Grafana, Datadog, or similar.\n\nExperience operating services that process financial transactions or other highly sensitive data.\n\nExperience improving service-level objectives, performance, or capacity for production systems.\n\nFamiliarity with Go or another programming language used for internal tooling.\n\nOur ideal teammate: Empathetic. Skilled. Frank. We love to challenge each other, and we leave our egos at the door.\n\nIt’s okay if you don’t tick all the boxes - don’t let imposter syndrome prevent you from applying! \n\nSwan is committed to providing a caring work environment for all employees, regardless of age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, or belief.\nWhen it comes to recruitment, we’re interested in your work experience, skills, and overall personality. Because diversity makes the workplace stronger and is necessary for Swan’s success, we are intensifying efforts to incorporate concrete actions to help us improve in this area.\nOur ideal teammate\nYou are empathetic, skilled, pragmatic, and direct. You take ownership without ego, communicate clearly during both calm and high-pressure situations, and are comfortable asking questions when context is missing.\nYou enjoy understanding how systems work, learning from incidents, and turning operational lessons into better automation, documentation, and engineering practices. You challenge ideas constructively, support your teammates, and leave systems more reliable than you found them.\nAbout Swan\n Perks of being a Swanee:\nMeal Vouchers: We provide a meal voucher card to cover your meals on work days.\n\nTransport: Monthly mobility package for remote employees.
