Description
Vannevar Labs builds next generation defense software for the public servants keeping our country safe.  As a team, we exist because we believe in public service, and we think that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses.   
 
This mission has become urgent. Ukraine is engaged in a war for survival with Russia. China regularly flies nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwan and Japan’s airspace. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. We build software to support these missions, including providing battlefield information to allies, identifying malign activity, and helping the US deter and deescalate conflict.  
 
We are a profitable growth startup with some of the best defense investors in the world, including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72, and enterprise tech investors Costanoa and Felicis.

  • Strong technical expertise in building ETL pipelines and designing APIs. 
  • Ability to build and scale creative solutions to challenging data access and collection problems 
  • Understanding of managed attribution and operational security best practices. 
  • High ethical standards for handling sensitive data, ensuring adherence to data privacy rules and compliance standards. 
  • Willingness to travel up to 15%.

  • Experience in data scraping or a strong desire to learn.
