Working at Swipely
We turn purchases into conversations.
Swipely is defining the intersection of social and payment networks. Our goal is to add value to every swipe for both consumers and businesses.
Why work at Swipely?
It starts with the team: smart people who challenge each other and collaborate on exciting problems. We're still small, so each person has a big impact on Swipely's success, and results appear quickly.
We want to hire creative, intelligent technologists and business people who share our enthusiasm for changing the face of payments and making shopping more social. We're on a mission. Ready to join us?
A Creative Space
The office environment at Swipely is open, dynamic, and designed to foster creativity and collaboration. We have tall ceilings, huge windows, exposed beams, and white boards on every wall.
We offer free lunch, snacks and drinks. We provide our engineers the best hardware our friends in Cupertino can dream up, along with unlimited pixels of screen real estate. We empower our people.
A Tiny Slice of Silicon Valley in Providence
Providence, called the "Creative Capital," is steeped in culture, art and history; it's also a growing innovation hub. 45 minutes south of Boston and 3 hours north of New York City by Amtrak, Providence's reputation for technology and design flows from Brown University and RISD. Acclaimed restaurants attract diners, while the arts scene is home to a Tony award-winning repertory theater, numerous live music venues and the most artists per capita of any state. We're also home to Family Guy.
Typical NYC studios are considered closets here, 3G actually works, and family homes are more affordable than Boston. Around town you'll meet other "Providence Geeks," but also industrial designers and retail executives -- Hasbro Toys and CVS Caremark are headquartered here. Your backyard is a vacationland: the 2nd largest bay on the eastern seaboard and 400 miles of coastline to provide endless summertime fun.
Who's Behind This?
The team at Swipely includes veterans of Tellme, Microsoft, Netscape, eBay and Paypal who have come here from San Francisco, Boston, Washington, DC and elsewhere for the opportunity to change the world. The company is well-funded by a committed group of seed-stage investors led by First Round Capital and joined by the company's Founder & CEO, Angus Davis, and noted Silicon Valley angel investors SV Angel (Ron Conway) and others.
Big Challenges. Big Opportunity.
Swipely seeks to understand the world's purchases and to add value to every swipe. Solving such a huge problem creates an enormous opportunity to change how people shop and share.
Engineers tackle problems with semantic understanding, geolocation, security, big data, and collective intelligence... plus the usual challenges of scaling a Web service to millions of consumers. Our work is difficult and worthwhile: solving these problems makes the world a better place.
Perks
Swipely offers competitive salaries and full benefits, similar to "big" companies. We also offer everyone equity in the company, to share in Swipely's long-term success. Our kitchen is stocked at all times with free drinks and snacks. Lunch is catered every day from a nearby sandwich shop, and we even keep a dedicated fridge stocked with craft beers from around the globe. We want you to have the best tools for the job, so the Macbook Pros are fast, the Internet pipes are fat and the screen pixels are unlimited. Go for it!
