Network Engineer

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 Washington DC who can work in-office 3+ days per week

At Swoop, we're unlocking interoperability and distributed computing across the complex, disconnected systems that have held back innovation for decades. This mission requires a network that is secure, resilient, and built to perform under pressure. That's where you come in. As a Network Engineer, you'll be the one ensuring the infrastructure beneath our platform can be trusted by hardening our systems against threats through STIG compliance and rigorous access control, and keeping our network fast and available so the technology we're building never misses a beat. In an environment where the stakes are mission-critical, your work securing and stabilizing our network directly protects the integrity of what Swoop is building. This is a role where precision matters and helps build the foundation our customers depend on.
