Company mission
We build software for our nation's most pressing national security problems.
Role
Who you are
- A track record of shipping high impact, fullstack, and preferably data or AI-enabled applications
- Deep and current knowledge of AI capabilities, LLM tooling, and emerging trends
- An excitement to work cross-functionally with other engineers, designers, and machine learning engineers
- Bias towards achieving outcomes, including willingness to step outside your immediate role to ensure mission success
- Familiarity with relational databases (like Postgres), caching technologies (like Redis), object stores (like S3), and distributed search systems (like ElasticSearch)
- Experience with React, Typescript/JavaScript, and Python
- Active or previous TS / SCI Clearance is a plus but not needed
What the job involves
- The Agentic AI team is building key AI-native applications as well as the platforms and libraries to embed Agentic AI across the company
- We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer to help build and deliver mission-critical capabilities into the hands of those who serve our nation
- We are working in a space that is a perfect fit for AI Agents - the process is plentiful but well specified, there is an abundance of multi-modal data, and accelerating speed to decision is the difference between winning and losing
- You will work on cutting edge technical challenges that span AI, UX design, and software engineering, while also working on problems that matter
- Design & prototype agentic solutions. Own the full lifecycle of building agents - prompt engineering, custom agent architectures, tool-calling, fine-tuning, guardrails, and evaluations
- Build chat and agent native applications. Implement new features to grow our dedicated chat-first application and embed agentic assistant experiences into new applications
- Implement re-usable components to enable other developers. Work with other engineers to build re-usable components for key patterns like contextual chat experiences, human-in-the-loop agents, and ambient agents that can be used across the Vannevar product suite
- Embed with customers and mission owners. Dive deep into customer workflows to collect feedback, debug in the field, and iterate quickly
- Collaborate across disciplines. Building effective AI-native applications crosses many disciplines. To build the right application you will work with AI Engineers to understand the capabilities an limitations of AI agents, designers to pick the right UX patterns for users, and product owners to solve real-world customer workflows
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.
