About Swaply

Swaply is the verified student marketplace built at the University of Arkansas where students buy, sell, and rent within their campus community.
We’re building the first student-only platform that merges convenience, safety, and culture.

This is a hybrid contractor role most work is remote, but we meet once or twice a week in person for creative sessions, team syncs, and campaign planning.
