Vannevar Labs is a defense technology company focused on digital intelligence to support non-kinetic missions aimed at deterring and de-escalating conflicts. The company specializes in developing advanced machine learning techniques to ensure access to mission-relevant data, building tools to counter malign influence, and enhancing maritime domain awareness using open-source and targeted data collection techniques. Vannevar Labs is dedicated to quickly iterating with national security partners to meet urgent and dynamic security challenges, positioning its solutions to address the strategic competition for legitimacy and influence in the modern geopolitical landscape.

📋 Description

• Live with our mission users. Go onsite with our mission team and users to build domain knowledge and your own understanding of the mission problems and workflows our users have. • Master our data and capabilities. We’ve built world-class data collection for some key national security data sets. Understand how we’ve built it, what our differentiators are, and how to take it to the next level. • Scope and prioritize data collection. Turn ambiguous user / mission needs into our data collection strategy in partnership with our customer and engineering (datasets, sources, latency, coverage, etc.) teams. Work with engineering and mission to prioritize and execute these collection efforts. • Collection strategy for agents. Ensure collected data is usable by agents (tool-call readiness, retrieval patterns, schemas/metadata, evaluation loops, etc.). Identify gaps where the right data isn’t getting into agent tool calls and coordinate fixes. Partner with teams to align data and mission workflows as a coherent advantage. • Enable Collection Engineering to move fast. Develop repeatable processes for intake, scoping, execution, launch, and evaluation for data collection requests. Partner with the Collection engineering team to solve other problems.

🎯 Requirements

• Care deeply about the mission: the data we collect is enabling massive, generational impact across many national security missions. • Have strong mission intuition: you can decompose messy operational needs into concrete technical requirements. • Can collaborate deeply with engineers. • Are comfortable making hard prioritization calls with incomplete information. • Communicate crisply: can write a one-pager that aligns stakeholders and drives action. • Experience with data acquisition / collection, national security problems and workflows, data platform/product work. • Familiarity with agentic systems and what makes data “tool-call ready”. • Prior roles in defense/intelligence mission contexts (or adjacent high-stakes operational environments).

🏖️ Benefits

• 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
