## 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.

- 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
