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.
