Senior Mobile Engineer

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 The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology.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

Our Mission teams operate like small startups within the Vannevar umbrella. As a mobile engineer, you will be embedded with a multifaceted team organized around a single customer. You’ll own the architecture, development, and deployment of a mobile app to support specific customer missions. 

Your job includes everything from meeting with customers who serve on the front lines of strategic competition to scoping and implementing software. You will work closely with other engineers, product designers, and former military officers to deliver game changing capabilities against some of the most important mission sets in the DoD.

• Rearchitect our mobile product from the ground up using mobile application standards.
• Build software that helps users unlock value within our data holdings and apply that to our mobile product: large scale text, multimedia, and geospatial datasets spanning over 46 different languages.
• Collaborate with our Mission teams and end-users to plan, build, and deliver complex mobile app features to solve direct user problems.
• Anticipate traveling 20% of time to meet with mission owners and deliver capabilities.
