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. Business software shouldn’t just record financial activity — it should run it.To learn more about us: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.swan.io/about#about">About Swan</a> ; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.swan.io/about#our-story">Our story</a>. &nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Statement of Work</h3>We are looking for a capable, diligent, and proactive Know Your Customer (KYC) Analyst to join our Operations team.

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!
