Geospatial Engineer Battle Road

Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster smarter and more efficient.

We take ownership seek excellence and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.

Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners today Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $320m+ from top-tier investors including Battery Ventures General Catalyst Sapphire Ventures Insight Partners and Human Capital and today Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. With this continued growth Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.

Battle Road Digital part of Onebrief applies state-of-the-art innovations and experience from the video game industry to build the future of simulations modeling and operations with AtomEngine – our proprietary cloud-based game engine that’s making the world playable.

As a Geospatial Engineer at Battle Road you will design operate and evolve the geospatial data pipelines and systems that underpin AtomEngine’s simulation runtime. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering geospatial science and simulation systems owning the lifecycle of spatial data from sourcing and integration through processing storage and delivery at scale. You will evaluate and onboard new geospatial datasets and data products translate simulation and runtime requirements into fit-for-purpose geospatial data and ensure these datasets balance fidelity performance and scalability.

In addition to data product ownership you will administer and optimize the geospatial services and infrastructure that deliver this data—including GeoServer and PostGIS-backed systems—while enforcing strong stewardship practices around metadata provenance versioning and quality. You will collaborate closely with engine simulation and AI teams to ensure geospatial data is performant reliable and directly enables new simulation capabilities rather than serving as passive infrastructure.

• Design operate and evolve Battle Road’s geospatial data pipelines supporting the ingestion processing storage and delivery of data sets used by the simulation.

• Source evaluate and integrate new geospatial datasets and data products (e.g. terrain land cover infrastructure boundaries mobility-relevant layers) that unlock new simulation features and capabilities

• Translate simulation and runtime requirements into geospatial data products ensuring datasets are fit for purpose across scale performance and fidelity constraints

• Administer and optimize geospatial services and infrastructure (including GeoServer and related tooling) to ensure reliability performance and secure access in both development and production environments

• Implement and enforce geospatial data stewardship best practices including metadata standards versioning provenance governance and quality assurance

• Design and maintain PostgreSQL/PostGIS-backed data stores optimizing schemas queries and access patterns for large-scale simulation and analytical workloads

• Collaborate with engine simulation and AI teams to ensure geospatial data is aligned with runtime needs performant at scale and consumable by downstream systems

• Geoserver Administration – 3 to 5 years experience installing configuring tuning scaling and securing Geoserver deployments (including cluster/HA setups REST API usage user/role configuration SLD/stylesheet management and WMS/WFS/WCS endpoint provision)

• PostgreSQL/PostGIS Expertise - 3 to 5 years experience database administration for spatial workloads including schema design for raster and vector data spatial indexes backup/recovery query optimization and JSON/array data handling

• Data Cataloging & Metadata - Ability to implement manage and extend open-source geospatial metadata catalog/dictionary tools (GeoNode CKAN GeoNetwork) including FGDC/ISO metadata standards schema extension and discovery interface customization

• Experience integrating managing and synchronizing global spatial datasets (e.g. OpenStreetMap satellite/basemaps government releases) working with multi-format high-volume data assets

• Experience with regular cross-functional coordination with GIS/data engineers software developers cloud infrastructure teams and non-technical stakeholders to deliver outcomes as part of multidisciplinary teams

• Due to federal contract requirements U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position.

What We Do

Before Onebrief military planning and collaboration was slow inefficient and resource-intensive. Building slides with no version control as partners collaborated would have staffs spend weeks or months on a single product or document. With Onebrief these workflows are now simple and collaboration between large commands is efficient. Staff optimization is the key to building a more resilient more effective military. Today Onebrief users report at least 2x time savings - and growing. Onebrief is a first of its kind software for the military. While many others have tried to build a solution for this problem Onebrief’s “card” structure for reusing data and enabling real time updates is what makes this possible. Core features and attributes that make this platform powerful include: - Global Collaboration - Real-Time Updates - AI Automation - Interoperability + Integrations - Deployable across Secret and Top Secret Networks Mission Driven Onebrief is composed of professionals from backgrounds of all kinds - spanning veterans across forces and organizations and technologists from leading-edge software giants. Onebrief is more than just a software platform; it's a mission-driven company dedicated to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of military planning. By joining the team you'll contribute to solutions that directly support national security and the work of service members. Your work directly addresses critical challenges that military planners and operators face daily. Every line of code and every design decision contributes to real-world outcomes. The software was designed and built by a team of experienced planners - lending a nuanced perspective on the challenges our partners face. Our team embeds alongside users - from the Pentagon to the Indo-Pacific - to build a platform that meets their unique needs. Rapid Strategic Growth Our users love the platform and growth is scaling most recently reporting operational usage growth at a 19600% annualized rate. Stronger utilization is underway and we’re at an exciting period of advancement. As a rapidly growing organization you'll directly influence its direction and long-term success. Over the past year we’ve seen exciting growth metrics: First our headcount has grown 150% YoY to keep pace with our product advancement and customer growth. Our funding has skyrocketed most recently raising our Series C led by top-tier venture investors who have deep expertise in defense tech.

Why Work With Us

Impactful Transformation At Onebrief we believe optimizing the military staff is the most impactful thing - on a per-dollar basis - in defense tech right now. This has the potential to save the department of defense billions of dollars and save users countless hours. It’s a longstanding problem that we’re uniquely positioned to solve.
