Onebrief makes military planning seamless and represents a shift in paradigm for future military decisions. It is an all-in-one tool that supports both the creative and process-oriented aspects of military planning. In Onebrief, planners use maps, boards, diagrams, timelines, spreadsheets, slide decks and text documents to create their plans—all while sharing a common database. Everything stays in sync, in real time. Our approach has been refined and validated through hundreds of user experiments.
We’re post-revenue (approaching $2M in ARR). We are backed by Y Combinator (S21) and top-tier VCs, including Caffeinated Capital (Affirm, Docker, Notion, and more). Our elite team combines the best of tech and military talent, including education and experience at Google, Adobe, Delta Force, TOPGUN, and more.
Given our current traction we can barely keep up with demand. This is an opportunity for you to join us with all the perks of a founding employee.
What you will achieve
As a platform engineer, you'll work in all areas of our backend and infrastructure. You'll be responsible for implementing or refining our APIs, realtime collaboration system, data federation, integrations, geospatial features, and to ensure that Onebrief can be easily deployed and maintained in some of the most secure networks in the world (incl. SIPRNet and JWICS). This is a hands-on role, but you'll also play a leading role in continuously evolving our platform's architecture.
You’ll report directly to Rafa, our CTO and co-founder.
