The posting

Swarmia was founded to help software teams continuously improve how they work and build software. Every day, we work closely with some of the best software companies in the world, helping them build happier and more productive software teams. We aim to build the best-designed product in our category, and we have also been praised for our design and user experience (G2 – Easiest to Use, Fall 2026).

It's an opportunity to become an early member of a fast-growing company in an evolving space and influence how thousands of software teams work every day.

ABOUT YOU

- 5+ years designing and building software, with emphasis on building

- You consider yourself cross-functional, combining product expertise and some technical expertise, which you can prove it from your experience

- You know when to do a customer interview vs. use product analytics to take a product decision, and when to trust a gut feeling

- You put effort into knowing your users really well

- You know how to run customer interviews, and do that at scale

- You know when to go to Figma, and when to build directly with Claude

- You know when to use AI, and when not to use it in your work.

- You can read code. Being able to make changes without relying on AI is a plus

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Shipping new product changes every day (and sometimes multiple times a day)

- Working closely with engineers and your team lead, Mika, prioritizing synchronous collaboration to solve product problems together

- Owning the longer-term design vision of your teams’ product area

- Owning business context and success metrics for the product area you own, together with your product counterpart

THE TEAM YOU'LL BE JOINING

Dumbo is the team behind Swarmia's effort model https://help.swarmia.com/definitions/developer-effort-ftes and the products that help engineering organizations understand how they spend effort https://www.swarmia.com/product/investment-balance/ and budgets across projects and categories of work. Your core audience is engineering leaders in Director+ roles who use Swarmia through the UI, API, Swarmia AI, and the MCP server.

HOW WE WORK

Read these before you apply - they're the most honest picture of the job:

- The New Way: Building software in an agentic organization https://www.swarmia.com/blog/the-new-way-building-software/ — why we start every feature with a prototype instead of a plan

- We tried Anthropic's way of working, and here's what happened https://www.swarmia.com/blog/anthropic-way-of-working/ — Campfires: sessions where product, design, and engineers ship the first iteration together

- How we do product discovery at Swarmia https://www.swarmia.com/blog/how-we-do-product-discovery-swarmia/ — written by one of our designers

- How we use Swarmia at Swarmia https://www.swarmia.com/blog/how-we-use-swarmia-at-swarmia/

ABOUT SWARMIA

- We're a well-funded company founded in 2019. Our latest funding round was in mid 2025. Our team members are working in different cities in Finland and the US.

- We believe in improving software development so much so that we've written a book about it, it's called Build https://www.swarmia.com/build/. We also host a podcast called Engineering Unblocked https://www.unblocked.fm/, featuring guests from companies like Stripe, Webflow, and Sentry.

- We're moving fast. We ship new features every day, and write about them in our Changelog https://www.swarmia.com/changelog/.

- We believe in autonomous teams. Each team owns a product area and all its product context. You'll participate in customer research from day one, learning directly from the best software companies out there.

- We work together to solve customer problems — we call it Swarming it — and collaborate cross-functionally to make it happen.

WHAT WE OFFER

- A highly experienced and motivated team

- 70–80 k€ annual salary plus a meaningful amount of equity

- 10 extra days of paid vacation when you start, on top of the regular paid annual vacation

- Flexible working arrangements — we work in a flexible hybrid setup, and you can choose between working remotely on most days or from our HQ in central 📍 Helsinki

- Great work/life balance — we're a startup, but we don't crunch or work at an unsustainable pace (many of us have kids and other activities beyond work)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
