Staff Infrastructure Engineer

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.

Onebrief's infrastructure team owns the platform that delivers our software to military staffs. Our charter spans Kubernetes clusters in commercial and government cloud application streaming for thin-client users on classified networks a unified artifact pipeline that signs and ships the same builds to every environment we operate and air-gapped appliances at forward sites.

We're hiring an Infrastructure Engineer who builds security into the systems they operate rather than treating it as a separate workstream. You'll architect build and run the platform end to end. This includes RFCs PRDs and reviewing and writing production code alongside Product and Engineering teammates. The work cuts across cloud-native deployments edge appliances data platforms and the application streaming layer that puts Onebrief on classified environments. You'll partner with Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) and mission owners on STIGs CVE remediation audit prep and the controls work that lets us operate in environments such as IL5 IL6 and JWICS.

Success means a platform that stays up under real operational load ships trusted artifacts to every profile we run and passes audits without fire drills.

People by-name request you because you bias towards action. You are a problem-solver by nature who genuinely cares about the mission and the outcome. You operate without hand-holding. You read a problem weigh tradeoffs and move. Sometimes the tradeoffs have harsh consequences that you pay for later but you are resilient and adapt. When the work crosses into expertise you don't have you dig into the problem pull in the right teammates apply their feedback and continue.

• Design develop test iterate and deploy secure production systems across cloud-native and edge appliance deployments

• Embed with cross-functional teams and advise on infrastructure security and deployment best practices that hold up in production

• Own end-to-end infrastructure outcomes for one or more critical programs or priority infrastructure initiatives

• Harden the artifact pipeline so the same signed builds run in cloud single-tenant high-side and air-gapped appliance deployments

   

You'll do well in this role if you bring:

• 5+ years operating production infrastructure in DevOps/DevSecOps Platform SRE Cloud or Infrastructure roles

• Full-stack engineering experience when necessary e.g. production experience designing building and operating services in a modern backend language (e.g. Go Python Rust TypeScript)

• Deep production Kubernetes experience: operators networking storage multi-cluster operations and a feel for what breaks at scale

• Expertise with major cloud providers (e.g. Amazon AWS Microsoft Azure) with strong instincts for designing across providers and profiles

• Strong application and infrastructure security fundamentals: identity network segmentation secrets management common vulnerability classes and sound security judgment under ambiguity

• Demonstrated ability to build working solutions from scratch connect disparate applications together and jump into existing code bases to add value

• Experience packaging and shipping workloads into disconnected or air-gapped environments

• Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance

   

Nice to have qualifications:

• Active US SECRET or TOP SECRET security clearance

• Government cloud expertise (AWS GovCloud Azure Government)

• FedRAMP IL4/IL5 IL6 or JWICS environment exposure

• Audit experience (FedRAMP SOC 2 or equivalent)

• Big data and distributed data experience

• Prior experience supporting defense intelligence or other regulated industries

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.
