Job 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 The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology.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. 

Senior Full Stack Engineer, Geospatial 

The Geospatial engineering team is building a cutting-edge platform for unclassified geospatial analytical workflows in support of strategic competition efforts. We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build and deliver mission-critical capabilities into the hands of those who serve our nation. 

You’ll be part of a cross-functional team that includes software engineers and officers from all branches of the military. We also do something common in Silicon Valley tech companies but radical in the defense space: we develop and test products side-by-side with our users, including on US military bases and remote locations abroad. Our engineering culture is about empathizing with users and building software products that deliver maximum mission impact. 

What you’ll do 

  • Build efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive complex geospatial applications in environments with performance and resource constraints
  • Implement new geospatial algorithms, backend systems, and user interfaces
  • Collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Mission, and Software Engineers to deliver compelling user-facing products
  • Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams to plan, build, and deliver complex software features
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers
  • Travel up to 20% of time to meet with mission owners and deliver capabilities 

Qualifications  

  • 4+ years as a Full Stack Developer or similar role
  • Familiarity with relational databases (like Postgres), caching technologies (like Redis), object stores (like S3), and distributed search systems (like ElasticSearch)
  • Experience building and owning features end-to-end
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • You must be a US resident or citizen 

Qualifications (Nice to Haves)

  • Experience building geospatial products
  • 4+ years of experience implementing geospatial algorithms
  • 4+ years of experience building with React and JavaScript 

What we offer

The salary range for this position is $150,000 - $195,000 + equity + 401K match. Within the range, individual pay is determined by experience, relevant education, and/or training.

We’re proud to offer competitive benefits that support our employees. Some key highlights of our benefits package include:

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 100% remote first culture. You can work from anywhere in the US and all full time employees have WeWork access
  • Unlimited PTO including competitive vacation and holiday schedules
  • Lifestyle stipends - Monthly mental health, wellness & fitness stipend, in-home office setup stipend and family planning assistance
  • Salary top-up during military reserve duty
  • Fully paid parental leave
  • Child and pet care reimbursement during travel
