About the role
We're hiring a forward-deployed Mission Strategist to embed with Navy users in San Diego. San Diego is home to the Navy's rapid capability organizations, and our software is already in use there. This is an in-person role. You will spend most of your week on site with users and working on government networks. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- An active Secret clearance at minimum. TS/SCI preferred
- Based in San Diego or willing to relocate. This role is in person
- Experience using technology to solve hard operational problems, either from building products (product management, engineering) or from fielding new technology in the military
- A track record of creatively scoping ambiguous problems and generating strong hypotheses when the path isn't clear
- Comfort with hands-on technical work. You will rewrite a prompt ten times, dig into why a configuration isn't behaving, and keep going until it works
- Curiosity about agentic AI and how to apply it to real workflows
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.

Your job is to find the mission problems that matter most, break them into specific hypotheses, and prove those hypotheses out in our products. Much of that...
