Our mission is to be the technology backbone for strategic competition against peer adversaries. These missions – including intelligence, information operations, special activities, and perception management – are happening today and their success or failure will determine if we go to war tomorrow.

We've been on the front lines of these missions since 2019, and have grown to support a wide range of missions across all US service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and interagency stakeholders. We deploy both hardware and software products to support people on the front lines that span collection, planning / assessments, and effects.

We've grown from $3M in run-rate revenue in 2021 to $80M in run-rate revenue today. We've been profitable since 2022 and have raised $91M in venture capital funding through Series B. We're valued at $1.5B as of 2025.

About the role
Our Mission teams operate like small startups within the Vannevar umbrella. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the field "CTO" for that Mission team and customer relationship. You will work on a cross-functional team directly supporting members of our national security. You’ll own the architecture, development, and deployment of software solutions that support specific customer missions. 
 
Your job includes everything from meeting with customers who serve on the front lines of strategic competition to scoping and implementing software.

  • Engineer and own the software solutions that are deployed to customers 
  • Build software that helps users unlock value within our data holdings: large scale text, multimedia, and geospatial datasets spanning over 46 different languages 
  • Write code to improve products and scale our capabilities to more customers and use cases 
  • Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams to plan, build, and deliver complex software features 
  • Travel up to 20% of time to meet with mission owners and deliver capabilities 
Qualifications
  • 5+ years as a Full Stack Developer including familiarity with relational databases (like Postgres), caching technologies (like Redis), object stores (like S3), and front-end frameworks (like React)
  • Experience developing and deploying software compliant with DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF)
  • Experience interfacing with government owned IT systems (for example, data platforms, IdAM providers, SIEM, CDSs, etc)
  • Experience working with government IT and program offices to scope technical requirements, architecture, and integrations
  • Experience working with end users to scope mission requirements, conduct user testing, and gain product feedback
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Must hold an active U.S. TS Security clearance with SCI Eligibility
What we offer
The salary range for this position is $135,000-$205,000 + equity + 401K match. Within the range, individual pay is determined by experience, relevant education, and/or training.
 
We’re proud to offer competitive benefits that support our employees. Some key highlights of our benefits package include:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 100% remote first culture. You can work from anywhere in the US and all full time employees have WeWork access
