Swapie runs two tech software products: (1) swapie.co, a fintech platform that maximizes cashback, (2) gifting.sg, a social-good gift-raising, instead of a fund-raising, a platform that involves consumers, businesses, and charities. We also provide digital consultation services to selected clients.
Our culture: We are borderline crazy, rule-benders (not breakers), and we press on unless we’re dead, in comatose, or both. We never ever give two hoots to peoples’ gossips about us so if these matter to you, look elsewhere now. We also firmly believe that output speaks more than input. It is not the number of hours we put in, but the quality of the work we all bring to the table that matters and we do have high standards for those.
About The Role
The role reports dually to the CEO and CTO, sitting at the intersection of marketing and technology. Candidates are expected to be holistic all-rounders or at least an expert with demonstrated experience in either one area, such as a marketing major with basic front-end programming knowledge. You can expect to be tutored in the area you are less familiar in while honing your skills to deliver top-of-the-class work in the other, but to successfully achieve this with us we believe you need to work very hard and be very hungry.
