About Swoop:
Swoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world’s military and critical infrastructure. We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world’s equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf. Imagine the world’s equipment - consisting of the electrical grid, communications architectures, manufacturing facilities, and militaries as a trapped supply of inputs possessing the potential to ensure Western military advantage, sovereign control of economically competitive manufacturing capacity, or the creation of a grid that fosters energy dominance. Swoop is liberating these trapped assets, allowing them to contribute to the world’s future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety. That is what Swoop is building. Not in the data center or cloud or edge on-premise computing node. In the physical world. This is a hybrid position that requires someone based in Minneapolis/St. Paul who can work in-office 3+ days per week
Your Impact:
You’re a product minded storyteller, with a passion to make complex technical concepts feel intuitive and real. At Swoop, we believe that our technology deserves exceptional design, is part of our underlying advantage, and not an afterthought. In this role you’ll be expected to move fast, seeing your designs go from prototype to presentation in days, not months. You will build the narrative of how our technology is presented to customers, external audiences, and critical decision makers.
What You’ll Do:
Web Design & Maintenance: Lead the visual evolution of our website, ensuring fast seamless, and immersive user experience, while managing regular updates and layout improvements
Motion Graphics: Use high-end 3D renders, After Effects, motion graphics, UI animations, to help shape the narrative of complex technical systems. Our customers must be able to see the future and impact of our technology
Presentation Design: Partner with leadership, engineering, and business development to transform complex ideas into stunning, persuasive decks, presentations, and training materials
Visual Asset Creation: Build custom iconography, 2D/3D content, and assets that set us apart
Brand: Design is the brand. You’ll ideate and create how external audiences understand who we are and the mission we stand for. From creating aesthetic marketing materials to supporting unique ways of attracting talent, you’ll define approaches to bringing Swoop to market
You Should Have:
Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) and Figma
Familiarity with 3D software to support the creation of short form animation of a product or system effect in action
Experience with CMS platforms (like WordPress, Weblow, and Framer) and a solid understanding of responsive design
Experience creating app-like experiences within a presentation using transitions, embedded video, and custom-iconography
Deep understanding of typography, creating technical schematics, and illustrations
Discipline to ensure branding is consistent throughout the entirety of design
You are self-directed, thrive in fast paced environments, and comfortable shifting from a 3D render to fixing branding on a deck within the hour
Bonus if you have:
Experience working in the defense industry, or highly complex technical products and solutions

What We Do
Swoop is building a secure, distributed operating system, allowing our customers to securely harness their data and construct a programmable, autonomous edge. The edge is where digital rubber meets the real-world road. Where data is produced, consumed, or networked to accomplish an objective. It is covered in assets -- chips, memory, networking interfaces -- that comprise a distributed computing platform. The edge is strategically important and asset-rich. Swoop is helping unlock its potential, so that search and analysis no longer end simply with incremental insights or neatly organized search results, but with autonomous action directly at the edge. Swoop's technology has been deployed in some of the world's most sophisticated environments. Our team is purposeful in directing our technology toward solving important problems. We are building for a future where advancements in critical infrastructure, smart grids, supply chains, and manufacturing are programmed into existing systems -- rapidly, adaptive, and economically feasible.
