Sway (https://www.sway.co) | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | ONSITE (San Francisco, CA) | Full-time

Sway is rebuilding representative democracy from the ground up in a consumer-facing fashion. Our platform converts grassroots social support into real electoral leverage, giving political organizers viral, bottom-up tools to mobilize voters. We’ve shipped our MVP and are beta-testing ahead of the 2025 election cycle.

What you’ll do

* Build core features across a modern TypeScript stack (Next.js + React frontend, real-time GraphQL via Hasura, TS backend)

* Make architecture, infra, security, privacy, and product decisions as part of a small, but tight-knit founding team.

* Scale our social-graph and verification systems while running rapid product experiments with users.

Who you are

* Excited to be onsite in San Francisco, 5 days a week with an early, mission-driven team.

* Comfortable moving fast in both frontend and backend TS.

* Experienced in shipping quickly and robustly at an early-stage startup—or are eager to learn.

* Motivated by high-impact civic tech and/or consumer-facing products.

Why Sway

* Competitive comp with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.

* Flexible PTO.

* Direct ownership over technology that can reshape American politics.
