About Swap Swap is the infrastructure behind modern agentic commerce. The only AI‑native platform connecting backend operations with a forward‑thinking storefront experience.

Built for brands that want to sell anything—anywhere, Swap centralizes global operations, powers intelligent workflows, and unlocks margin‑protecting decisions with real‑time data and capability. Our products span cross‑border, tax, returns, demand planning, and our next‑generation agentic storefront, giving merchants full transparency and the ability to act with confidence.

At Swap, we’re building a culture that values clarity, creativity, and shared ownership as we redefine how global commerce works.

About the Role We’re seeking a reliable, organised, and technically minded Support Specialist who enjoys problem‑solving and delivering great customer experiences. You’ll handle technical questions from merchants, investigate issues across our platform, and help ensure merchants get fast, accurate resolutions.

This role blends customer support with light technical investigation: part troubleshooting, part educator, part translator between merchants and our product/engineering teams.

You’ll work on a wide variety of workflows, from reviewing API logs to helping merchants understand customs docs, and you’ll be a key contributor to improving the support function as we grow. You’ll work closely with our CX, Product, and Engineering teams to keep merchants moving and make our support function even better.
