About SureSwift Capital
SureSwift Capital is a private equity firm with a diversified digital portfolio, seeking a seasoned, front-end-leaning full-stack developer to build and modernize software across a portfolio of SaaS businesses.

About the Role

They will own feature development end-to-end while maintaining the stability and performance of existing production systems. This role works closely with the cross-functional team and reports to the Portfolio Leader (or designate).
The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder who is equally comfortable extending legacy production applications and shipping polished new features, with a genuine eye for how software looks and feels to the user.
