We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world. Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $320m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Sapphire Ventures, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most. About the role We’re hiring Senior Backend Engineers to help design, build, and operate the core systems of our platform.

You’ll work on high-impact systems including (but not limited to) our core backend services, database, monitoring, and metrics pipelines. Expect to tackle challenges in scaling, performance, data modeling, fault tolerance, observability, and disaster recovery. You’ll help shape architecture and contribute to operational and long term strategy.
