Swapie is a fintech firm that provides two products: an SME Procurement Tool with corporate cashback, and a Donation-In-Kind Bulk Fundraiser for charities & NPOs, the latter launched during the Covid-19 to stand in solidarity with fellow Singaporeans.
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. If those bother you, close this tab.
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 boy do we have high standards for those. Make it happen.
This is a part-time internship role in which the successful candidate will work on a flexible, deliverables-based schedule. Also, we prefer our interns to stay with us part-time for say, a year, rather than full-time for 2 months and then leave (over time, you get better, automate, and even reduce hours spent while still getting paid the same).
Applicants must be based in and legally allowed to work in Singapore at the time of application.
We are looking for an individual who is a strong communicator, with flair for design. The candidate has to be adaptable, resourceful, fast-learner, resilient, comfortable with uncertainty and is interested in laying the foundations for the startup.
We care less about your skills as long as you are willing to learn, but more about your traits and mindset. We are not looking at people who have been focusing on maintaining or improving existing products.
