From Vannevar's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
Mission Leads are customer-facing owners of mission outcomes. You will lead engagements with federal law enforcement, national security, and intelligence stakeholders to identify high-value mission problems, shape pilots and deployments, and turn demonstrated mission value into durable, funded programs.

You will operate with high autonomy in ambiguous environments, translate operational needs into clear technical requirements, and coordinate across functional teams (Product, Engineering, Mission, Security, and Operations) to deliver and scale.
This role will support customers across the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice. You'll work directly with federal investigators, intelligence analysts, and technical stakeholders to deploy AI-enabled capabilities against complex law enforcement and national security challenges.
