Overview

Onebrief makes military planning seamless and represents a shift in paradigm for future military decisions. It is an all-in-one tool that supports both the creative and process-oriented aspects of military planning. In Onebrief, planners use maps, boards, diagrams, timelines, slides and written products to create their plans—all while sharing a common database. Everything stays in sync, in real time. Our approach has been refined and validated through hundreds of user experiments.

Our product is currently in broad use at 8 of the largest military headquarters in the world. 3 of the 4 biggest operational plans in the US are currently built with Onebrief. Last year, we achieved 100% gross retention and 158% net retention—our revenue grew 4x and reached double-digit millions. We are backed by Y Combinator (S21) and top-tier VCs, including Caffeinated Capital (Affirm, Docker, Notion, and more) and Human Capital (Anduril, Brex, Snowflake, and more), and have raised a total of $53M in venture capital. Our elite team combines the best of tech and military talent, including education and experience at Google, Twitter, Adobe, MIT, Harvard, Special Operations, TOPGUN, and more.

What you will achieve

We’re a fast growing startup looking for a senior engineer to help lead the way in making our (realtime OT / built on top of socket.io) application more performant and resistant to performance regressions. You’ll do this by developing/leveraging tools to automate performance testing and monitoring, collaborating with product teams to ensure performance considerations are addressed up front to reduce risk and helping them resolve problems when they do arise. You will also help our Test Platform team more broadly make our application more tested and more testable.

Core Technologies: React, Node.js, Typescript, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes

About you

You’re an experienced engineer who knows your way around the full stack. You love a challenge, from figuring out ways to performance test all aspects of our application, taking ownership of maintaining performance, and leveling up the engineers around you to understand performance concerns so you’re not a single point of failure.

We’re in the defense space, so we’re looking for someone excited about our mission, eager to contribute to a growing startup, and looking for an autonomous environment where everyone has a seat at the table. On top of that, as the first performance-focused engineer on our team you will be making a foundational and massive impact in the product and growth trajectory of the company.
