Job description

About Swap

Swap is the infrastructure behind modern agentic commerce. The only AI-native platform connecting backend operations with a forward-thinking storefront experience. Built for brands that want to sell anything - anywhere, Swap centralises global operations, powers intelligent workflows, and unlocks margin-protecting decisions with real-time data and capability. Our products span cross-border, tax, returns, demand planning, and our next-generation agentic storefront, giving merchants full transparency and the ability to act with confidence. At Swap, we’re building a culture that values clarity, creativity, and shared ownership as we redefine how global commerce works.

Responsibilities

  • Build cost observability and usage-tracking tooling across LLM and agent workloads, so teams can see what AI actually costs and where we can accelerate productivity and impact.
  • Design and ship internal tooling and guardrails that let business and engineering teams adopt agentic coding workflows safely and productively.
  • Evaluate new AI tools, models, and vendors, and turn findings into clear build-vs-buy recommendations.
  • Write and maintain production quality code and automated tests for the platforms and tools you own.
  • Review peers' code for correctness, readability, and maintainability.
  • Own delivery of projects end to end, from scoping through production rollout across a mix of infrastructure, tooling, and process work.
  • Establish and socialise best practices for AI usage across the business.

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, comfortable operating independently on unfamiliar codebases.
  • A track record of owning and shipping mid-sized features or projects end to end.
  • Experience with building distributed data systems, feedback loops and measuring impact of work with metrics.
  • Strong testing discipline and experience improving CI/CD or developer tooling.
  • Someone who is focused on solving problems rather than working on particular tech stack / languages
  • Clear written and verbal communicator.
  • Bonus: experience with LLM/agentic tooling, AI cost observability, or internal developer platforms.
  • A generalist with an attitude for learning and growth.

Diversity & Equal Opportunities: We embrace diversity and equality in a serious way. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Creating a culture of equality isn't just the right thing to do; it's also the smart thing.
