What You'll Work With

You'll need hands-on experience with React for building user interfaces in JavaScript or TypeScript, working with REST APIs to connect systems, and using SQL and relational databases to query and shape data. Those are the core of the stack you'll touch every day.

Experience with any of these will let you move faster: Clojure or another Lisp, since much of our backend is Clojure; Datomic, the database we use for our core application data; AWS infrastructure, where our systems run; or building browser extensions, which we use to extend third-party platforms our customers rely on. If you haven't worked with these, you'll pick them up as you go.

Why You're Excited About This Job

• The mission: The average student spends six months of their K-12 career with a substitute teacher. What you build helps schools get coverage quickly and keeps student learning on track.
• End-to-end ownership: You decide what to build, build it, and measure whether it worked. No handoffs, no waiting on a spec.
• A mandate to define AI-native work: We're rethinking how we build products and run the business in an AI-native world, and you'll help shape what that looks like at Swing.
• Leverage by design: This role is built around the idea that AI lets one person accomplish what once took a team, and you'll push that idea as far as it goes.
• The full inside of a marketplace: You'll build for both sides of a two-sided marketplace and for its operational core: billing, timekeeping, integrations, and admin tools.
• Cross-functional exposure: You'll partner directly with Product, Operations, Customer Success, Sales, and Finance, and see the business from every seat.
• Visible impact: Every workflow you automate and every feature you ship changes how our team and our customers work, and you'll have the data to prove it.

About Swing Education

Swing Education is an online staffing marketplace that connects substitute teachers with K-12 schools. Founded in 2015 by former K-12 educators and administrators, Swing makes it easier for schools and districts to find reliable, qualified substitute teachers when they need them most. We recruit, screen, and support a large community of substitute teachers, and we build technology that helps schools get coverage quickly.

We believe substitute teachers play an integral role in education; the average student spends six months of their K-12 time with a sub. With millions of absence days filled to date, we're dedicated to improving the experience of finding substitute teachers, becoming a sub, and keeping student learning on track.
