From Obviant's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The defense market is surging, but the data that drives it hasn't kept up. Companies, government, and investors are forced into heavily manual processes, stitching together hundreds of disparate sources to make decisions that carry real national security weight.
Obviant has built the data source of truth and the AI tooling for defense acquisition. We fuse thousands of structured and unstructured sources into a coherent picture of budget, programs, and the organizations running them. We have high satisfaction at top-tier customers, we're growing fast, we're backed by leading venture funds, and we're advised by veterans from national security and the technology industry.
We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to own one team end to end either our data engineering team or our product/web application team, depending on where your strengths land. You'll inherit an existing team and, as we grow, help expand it. Your hiring bar becomes the team's bar.
This is not a coordination role. You'll set the technical bar, run the delivery cadence, grow the engineers on your team, and stay close enough to the code to earn their respect.
We set obsessively high standards, and here that isn't a slogan. Our customers make acquisition and investment decisions on what we show them, so being roughly right is not a viable product. Others might say we're too particular about it. That's fine we're running our own race, not theirs.
We're looking for someone who pairs technical excellence with the ability to extend that practice into a team leader who stays credible in the work while multiplying it through others.
People growth
Partner with whoever sits closest to the customer for your team Product, Design, and GtM if you're leading product engineering; analysts, AI/ML, and data consumers if you're leading data engineering. The partners shift; the customer obsession doesn't
Four traits show up in everything we do, and we'll probe for all four when we talk:
People growth
: you develop engineers, give direct feedback, and handle the hard calls with both care and spine
Our Principles
We live these every day. If they don't sound like you, this won't be a fit and we'd both rather know now.
Impact.
Our work matters. We take a lot of pride in building to advance mission outcomes.
Overdeliver.
We go above and beyond in everything we do - creating products and serving our users
Hustle.
We get stuff done, no matter what it takes.
Empathy.
Our users’ problems are our own. We don't push products, we solve problems.
Humility.
We’re not afraid to admit what we don’t know. Our job is to listen and grow.
Integrity.
Transparency & respect above all else. It’s non-negotiable, even when it isn't easy
