Job description

Vannevar Labs supports people on the front lines by building tools that deter and de-escalate conflict with America's adversaries. We build software and hardware for this mission that enable our customers to maintain maritime vigilance, disrupt misinformation, and collect non-traditional intelligence. In strategic competition, the intelligence and actions that shape conflict occur well before war itself. We build tools to win this fight now.

This mission has become urgent. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. As a team, we believe in public service and that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses.

Since our founding in 2019, we have grown to support a wide range of missions and capabilities across all U.S. service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and the intelligence community. We have been profitable since 2021, and are backed by investors including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72, Costanoa, and Felicis.

Qualifications (must haves)

• 4+ years of experience in software development in a general purpose programming language
• Proven experience owning features end-to-end from development, test, and release
• Experience with various relational and non-relational database systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Must be a U.S. resident or citizen

Qualifications (nice to haves)

• Experience with embedded systems
• Experience with software defined radio

What we offer
