Company mission
We build software for our nation's most pressing national security problems.
Role
Who you are
- Proven experience in software development – you have worked on business-critical systems that are deployed in production environments
- You’ve successfully led the design or architecture of new and existing system(s), ideally within the authn/authz domain
- A proven ability to work across teams to coordinate and solve engineering problems
- Strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills
- Preference for a previous security clearance

What the job involves
- We are expanding from one product (Decrypt) to an ecosystem of products
- The Platform team is responsible for the shared services & infrastructure that power this ecosystem
- You'll help us build shared authorization and authentication services that work in multiple domains, including classified environments
- As an early member of the team, you’ll have an outsized impact on the Platform’s evolution in support of our developers, forward deployed engineers, and end users
- The decisions you make will have a direct impact on the company today and into the future
- You know how to balance delivering immediate impact for consumers with designing for future expansions and capabilities
- Design and build an authorization system that is flexible enough for multiple applications, and supports granular permissions on our data assets
- Drive the technical vision for our existing authentication solution, particularly as we move to deploy our software on multiple production environments, including classified deployments
- Partner with other engineers to identify and quickly deliver customer value
- Stay up to date with emerging technologies, trends, and best practices, particularly within the authn/authz domain
Our take
As intelligence analysts work to solve rapidly evolving and increasingly challenging national security problems, modern technology is vital in achieving optimal results as there is no room for failure. Vannevar Labs’ innovative foreign text platform, delivers solutions to some of today’s most important national security problems.
The company’s workflow platform Decrypt, uses machine learning and automation to understand, target, and respond to foreign actors in ways not previously possible. The platform is a proven success, driving Vannevar’s growth and attracting a $40M OTA contract with the Department of Defense.
Yielding impressive traction so far, the company is using its latest Series B funding round to invest in new product development. Vannevar Labs is also aiming to win its first multi-year program from Decrypt. Should it be successful, the level of guaranteed sales and revenue would be a turning point in the company’s long-term trajectory.
