About the job

TL;DR — We’re building humanity’s defense layer for the AI age and are looking for a hacker-minded Full Stack Engineer to ship from day one and own problems end-to-end.

If you would have joined Palantir, Nest, or Tesla at the very early start to build an infrastructure from scratch — not just clean datasets — this is that role.

Why Sweep?

As intelligent machines proliferate into every part of the physical world, we humans still lack a defense layer to ensure the systems and devices we rely on remain aligned with us.

We're building that layer today by deploying alongside the world’s highest-stakes teams — Olympic delegations, F1 paddocks, halftime shows, global tours, studio productions, senior government officials, and executive protection units. What we learn there becomes the foundation for a civilization-defining capability.

We’re a small, talent-dense team with high ownership, high velocity, and low ego. We care deeply, move fast, and are here to build something that outlasts us.

Together, we’ll redefine cyber-physical security for the AI age.

What makes this role special?

  • You’ll define how the system is used as the first dedicated full stack engineer.
  • There’s no existing interface for this category.
  • Your work is deployed and tested by real users from day one.
  • Operate in high-stake, high-visibility environments you might not talk about, but won’t ever forget.
  • Shape product direction and technical roadmap.
  • Gain pre-Series A ownership as one of the first 10 engineers.

What we’re looking for

  • Polyglot engineer (JS + Python + Rust/Go preferred) who can quickly pick up new tools when needed.
  • Comfortable deploying and integrating with cloud systems (AWS/GCP) in production environments.
  • 5+ years shipping production systems where reliability matters.
  • Worked with LLMs, vector databases, and prompt pipelines.
  • Operates independently, ships fast, and holds a high bar for output.
  • U.S. Person status required (may involve export-controlled data).

Bonus if you’ve

  • Built iOS applications.
  • Tinkered with IoT or spatial computing (BLE/WiFi, AR/VR).
  • Obsess over code-quality (SonarQube or similar).
  • Built secure operational dashboards or admin workflows.
  • Optimized database performance under scale.

What you’ll do

  • Own user-facing systems and internal tools.
  • Build product systems across web, mobile, and internal tooling.​​
  • Integrate with backend systems and deploy product-facing services.
  • Leverage LLMs, graph reasoning, and sensor fusion across production systems.
  • Ensure reliability through testing, automation, and tight feedback loops.
  • Work directly with elite users globally (~10–15% travel).

How we select

  • Short application
  • 20-minute intro call
  • Technical deep-dive
  • Show us something you’ve built that makes you proud
  • References and offer

Final facts.

Base salary up to $220,000, depending on qualifications, experience, and impact. Total compensation includes equity, premium insurance, 401(k), flexible PTO, and other individual benefits.

You’ll join us on-site at our HQ in New York City with occasional domestic and global deployments.

Apply. Make history. Build humanity’s defense against machines.
