Vannevar builds agentic AI for 21st-century conflict, pre-trained for national security missions and delivering decision advantage. Backed by General Catalyst and Felicis.
About the role
Vannevar is building the future of national security enablement with agentic AI. Our platform tightens the loop from observation to action by giving warfighters cutting-edge analysis tools to make better decisions, faster. We’re looking for a talented Senior Engineering Manager to lead our AI Platform organization. This team provides the durable, reusable foundation that product and mission teams use to build, operate, and improve AI-powered capabilities at Vannevar.
What they're looking for
- Lead the AI Platform organization: Set the technical direction, operating model, and roadmap for the teams responsible for enrichments and the agents platform
- Build the enrichments foundation: Own the standard pipelines, shared services, and operational patterns used to run data and model enrichments reliably and efficiently across Vannevar products
- Scale the agents runtime: Lead the development of durable agent execution capabilities, including orchestration, state and workflow management, reliability, observability, evaluation, and quality controls
- Define platform standards: Establish clear interfaces, reusable primitives, and engineering practices that enable product teams to build AI-enabled capabilities without reinventing foundational infrastructure
- Raise the quality bar: Develop measurement, testing, evaluation, and feedback-loop practices that improve the correctness, safety, and usefulness of agent behavior in production
- Drive cross-functional execution: Partner with Product, Design, Mission, Security, and Infrastructure teams to prioritize platform investments and deliver high-impact outcomes
More about this role
Vannevar builds AI systems for the Department of War's most consequential missions. We have 125 deployments across every branch and combatant command spanning our core platform and five distinct products. An an example of how we work, when major combat operations started with Iran, we fielded a new product supporting 24/7 operations and 9,000+ users in three months.
How we build is our advantage: we deploy forward with the people who own the mission. Our engineers, product team, and CTO deploy forward to the point of friction, including visiting units in Ukraine. We focus on embedding directly with operational units supporting great power competition with China, combat operations with Iran, and counter-narcotics missions.
