Job Description TL;DR — We're building humanity's defense layer for the AI age and are looking for a high-agency operator to work directly with the CEO on business strategy, deployments, and growth. If you would have joined Palantir, SpaceX, or Stripe in the first 10 employees — not to manage, but to build and scale it — this is that role. Why Sweep?

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.
