Read on if you're a designer who wants to ship real interfaces, own problems end-to-end, and hit the ground running.

Humanity needs a defense layer against increasingly intelligent machines around us. Without it, the systems and devices we rely on can—and will—turn against us.

Join Sweep to help design that layer and safeguard the freedoms that let people live, work, travel, create, and operate in a rapidly shifting world.

As our UI/UX Designer (New Grad), you'll design interfaces that are already used by some of the world's highest-stakes teams — from decision-makers and elite market-movers to frontline journalists, chart-topping artists, record-breaking athletes, and history-bending scientists.

Together, we'll define what cyber-physical security looks and feels like for the AI age.

Why You Should Join

Mission & Impact - Design with the intensity of Bletchley Park—high stakes, rapid tempo, and no room for ambiguity. Your work will be used in environments you'll never discuss, but never forget
Innovation Ground-Zero - Design at the frontier of spatial interfaces, maps, real-time alerts, and data-dense systems. This is not marketing design. It's operational design
Early Ownership - You'll be one of the first designers. Work hand-in-hand with our CEO and Head of Engineering to define how Sweep looks, feels, and behaves as it scales

What You'll Do

Design mission-critical UI/UX for mobile and web systems used in real-world environments
Build and maintain design systems in Figma (components, auto-layout, interaction patterns)
Prototype flows and interactions using Framer and, where useful, SwiftUI
Design spatial and map-based interfaces using Mapbox or similar tooling
Work directly with iOS and full-stack engineers to translate designs into production
Iterate rapidly based on field feedback—see what works, fix what doesn't, ship again
Directly engage elite users—expect about 20% global travel

Must-Have

Strong obsession with Figma, including proof of systems and interactive prototypes
Ability to reason about clarity, hierarchy, and error states under pressure
Comfort designing complex, information-dense interfaces
Willingness to learn SwiftUI and prototype in code when needed
Startup urgency: independent, accountable, relentless execution
U.S. Person status required (may involve export-controlled data)

Nice-to-Have

Experience with Framer, Mapbox, or spatial UI tools
Motion design and micro-interactions for iOS
Familiarity with iOS Human Interface Guidelines
Portfolio showing real products, not just class projects

Compensation

Base salary for this position is up to $100,000 annually, depending on your qualifications, experience, and impact. Total compensation also includes equity, premium insurance, and individual benefits.

Why Sweep?

Sweep selects for mission, impact, ownership. Face-to-face collaboration is how we operate, thrive, and deliver. You'll join us on-site at our NYC HQ or Hybrid in DC. With frequent global travel to work along-side our users.

Selection Process

Initial 20-min intro → technical deep-dive → team exercise → references → offer. Additional questions? Just ask.

This is civilizational infrastructure. If you want to build toys this might not be for you. But if you want to help stop the next existential threat, step forward.

Make history. Build humanity's defense against machines.
