Role Description The Data Platform team is responsible for the pipelines, search, and identity systems that are foundational to Vannevar’s flagship platform and agentic workflows. The systems we build and operate define and enforce standards for data processing, storage, access, and retrieval across a growing suite of 10+ products. You will be part of a team that builds and manages this business-critical infrastructure. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to serve as a technical leader—shaping patterns for enterprise-grade performance, scalability, reliability, quality, and security across the broader organization.

You’ll also collaborate with our Information Security team to ensure our systems meet the stringent security and compliance requirements of DoD environments. Finally, you’ll have an opportunity to craft the long-term strategy for the platform, guiding architectural decisions and investments that enable the company to scale safely and sustainably. What you’ll do - Drive the design, implementation, and evolution of core data platform infrastructure and shared services. - Lead mission-critical projects to build and scale foundational platform capabilities. - Partner closely with engineers across the organization to develop and standardize data platform solutions that solve cross-product challenges. - Collaborate with Security and Mission stakeholders to define and enforce standards for access control, data protection, and system integrity. - Influence architecture, technology selection, and engineering standards across the company. - Grow your engineering skills by solving complex, high-impact problems in data platform and infrastructure systems. Qualifications - You have 7+ years of hands-on experience building and operating data platform primitives (storage, retrieval, and processing pipelines) that other product teams rely on. - You have strong system design skills and can make thoughtful tradeoffs across performance, reliability, scalability, and cost. - You have led cross-team technical initiatives spanning multiple systems, and driven adoption through influence. - You bring a security-first mindset and are comfortable operating in environments with high operational discipline and sensitive constraints. - You communicate complex technical concepts clearly to a broad audience, including engineers, cross-functional partners, and end users. - U.S. Person status is required, as this role requires access to U.S.-only data systems. Benefits - The salary range for this position is $150,000 - $215,000 + equity + 401K match. Within the range, individual pay is determined by experience, relevant education, and/or training. - Health, dental, and vision insurance. - 100% remote first culture.

Role Description We're looking for a senior backend engineer to own and evolve core platform services. You'll work across our TypeScript/Node.js codebase improving existing services, consolidating where we've over-split, building real-time collaboration infrastructure, and making architectural decisions that affect every user on the platform. If you enjoy making existing systems better as much as building new ones, this is the role. What You'll Actually Do - Build real-time collaboration infrastructure - Design and implement the systems that enable multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. - Work with WebSockets and Firebase to manage presence, state synchronization, and conflict resolution across web and mobile clients. - Evolve and consolidate backend services - Improve existing services, merge where boundaries don't earn their keep, simplify data models, and own reliability and performance in production. - Improve event-driven systems - Optimize and simplify asynchronous workflows that power content processing, notifications, and cross-service communication. - Work with SQS, SNS, and EventBridge to make existing pipelines more reliable, observable, and maintainable. - Shape technical direction - Lead architectural discussions, evaluate trade-offs, and make decisions that balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability. - Contribute to our engineering standards and help define how we build software as the team grows. - Work across the full product surface - Collaborate with frontend, mobile, and product teams to deliver features that span the entire stack. - Understand how your APIs and services are consumed and design them with the developer experience in mind. Qualifications - 7+ years of backend development, with 3+ years in Node.js/TypeScript - Strong track record building and operating production services at scale - Deep understanding of serverless architectures and AWS services - Experience with real-time systems (WebSockets, Firebase, or similar) - Comfort with distributed systems patterns: eventual consistency, idempotency, event sourcing Requirements - Designed and built APIs serving thousands of concurrent users - Modeled data in DynamoDB or similar NoSQL databases for high-throughput access patterns - Built event-driven architectures with message queues and pub/sub systems - Debugged production issues across distributed, asynchronous services - Made meaningful architectural decisions and owned their outcomes - Bonus: experience with Python for backend services Benefits - Equity options - Unlimited PTO (we actually take it) - $200/month wellness stipend - Health insurance stipend - Home office budget
