They’re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.But when it comes to financial workflows, there’s still a gap. Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow, tracking payments, or reconciling accounts happen outside the software, across spreadsheets, email threads, banking portals.It’s a missed opportunity.

This team is part of the Go-To-Market department. 

These folks keep the gears running behind the company so that Swan can continue to grow and scale. They are responsible for building momentum around our team, our product, and embedded banking in general! They wrap Swan up and deliver it in style.

Commercial

We depend on our compliance department to handle all the tricky things like fraud, risk, Internal control, etc.

These folks keep our banking features safe and secure, and always have to think about the best way to combine multiple areas: business, legal, regulatory, customer support, and more.

Swan is both a technology company and a financial services company, and our Compliance team makes these pieces fit together

Compliance & Legal

The Engineering team is by far the largest at Swan.

This team includes Software developers, who build payments and end-customer applications, as well as Infrastructure, DevOps, and Security. Clear communication is a priority in this team, so we make a point to find teammates who can express themselves clearly.

It’s important you’re rigorous, too, because when you’re building banking infrastructure you can’t afford to “almost” achieve things.

But you’ll never be alone in that task. Co-building is at the heart of the way we work, and we've got plenty of automated checks in place to help you along!

Engineering

The G&A department includes the Finance, People, and Data teams.

This team includes our Technical account managers, end-user support, as well as our payments teams. These folks are all about customer obsession and making sure Swan offers the smoothest, most elegant BaaS experience out there!

Operations

From ideation, through development, to launch, this team exists to build up an exceptional product! It is collaborative and cross-functional; for example, the Product and Tam teams often work together.

The product team is involved from the moment someone has the idea for a new feature, up until it goes live. The team builds up a description of what needs to be done, and co-creates functionalities with the tech team, who then implement those functionalities and deploy them into production.

This team includes managers, designers, QA, UI design, and banking experts.
