Full Job Description

TL;DR — We’re building the defense layer for the AI age and looking for a founding Forward-Deployed Engineer to embed with elite sports, music, and live production environments — identifying and neutralizing real-world cyber-physical threats — and converting those field patterns into scalable product capability.

If you want to invent a new category — not optimize an existing one — this is that role.

Why Sweep?

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

We’re building that layer by deploying Sweep alongside the world’s highest-stakes teams — F1 paddocks, Olympic delegations, global tours, halftime shows, studio lots, executive protection units — in environments where signal is dense, movement is constant, and failure is visible.

These environments are dense with unmanaged devices — rogue Wi-Fi, BLE trackers, smart glasses, sanctioned hardware, robotics, and embedded systems. What we learn there becomes product capability. What we build from that compounds across every deployment.

You'll join 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?

Be our first Forward Deployed Engineer in sports and entertainment.
Operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and elite team operations.
Work directly with security directors, league officials, production leads, and crews.
Deploy in places where RF density, logistics complexity, and reputational risk are extreme.
Deliver discreetly in high-stakes environments where precision and judgment matter.
Influence core product roadmap based on what actually breaks in the real world.

What we’re looking for

2–5 years working in environments involving real-world cyber-physical risk (Wi-Fi, BLE, rogue access points, IoT, robotics, embedded systems).
Strong architectural thinking across mobile, backend, data, and infrastructure.
Comfortable operating in ambiguous, high-stakes environments.
Ability to prototype quickly and iterate based on field feedback.
Engineering fluency — able to reason across software, networks, hardware, and adversarial behavior without supervision.
Clear communicator — able to translate messy field observations into structured product changes.
U.S. Person status (may involve export-controlled environments).

Bonus if you’ve

Worked in elite sports, live production, or national-level events.
Used SDRs, packet capture, RF survey tools, or similar instrumentation.
Been forward-deployed or customer-embedded.
Built automation using LLMs or data-driven workflows.
Operated in an early-stage, high-ownership startup.

What You’ll Do

Work directly with customers to understand workflows, constraints, and ground truth.
Deploy globally for short, high-intensity engagements (~40–50% travel).
Operate reachback support between deployments — rapidly responding to reported threats and converting those interactions into system improvements that compound globally.
Diagnose threats on-site, developing countermeasures in real time, and brief stakeholders clearly under pressure.
Capture patterns and failure modes so improvements scale beyond any single deployment.
Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works (rituals, playbooks, org design).
Contribute to core product strategy and roadmap.

Complete a 20-minute intro call

Final Facts

Base salary up to $180,000, depending on qualifications, experience, and impact.Total compensation includes equity, premium insurance, and individual benefits.
You’ll join us on-site at our HQ in New York City, with frequent global travel.

Make history. Build humanity’s defense against machines.
