Dedicated People.\nAbout Onebrief\nOnebrief builds collaboration and AI-powered workflow software for military planning and operational coordination.\nMilitary planning is complex by nature, requiring teams to coordinate information, people, and decisions across systems and locations. Onebrief brings planning, collaboration, simulation, and AI into one connected environment, helping teams test strategies, adapt to changing conditions, and make decisions with greater clarity when the stakes are real.\nWe are a distributed team of builders from military, operational, and technology backgrounds who care deeply about improving how important work gets done. Some team members work remotely, while others work directly alongside customers in operational environments around the world.\nFounded in 2019, Onebrief is backed by leading investors including General Catalyst, Battery Ventures, Insight Partners, Sapphire Ventures, and Human Capital. Valued at more than $2 billion, we continue to invest in product innovation, AI capabilities, and team growth.\nEngineering at Onebrief\nEngineering at Onebrief means building systems that must perform reliably in complex, high-stakes environments where operational outcomes matter more than activity, output, or elegant theory alone.\nThis is work for engineers who care about reliability, adaptability, observability, and building systems that succeed under real-world conditions. As AI transforms how software is built, engineering here is increasingly focused on verification, judgment, and helping teams operate more effectively at scale.\nYou’ll likely feel energized here if you care about:\nmeaningful technical challenges\n\nsystems that operate under real-world constraints\n\noutcomes over activity\n\nand grounded teams focused on solving important problems well.\n\nWhy this role exists\nOnebrief builds software for military planning, where the cost of a slow or wrong decision is measured in something more than a missed sprint. That raises the bar on the engineering itself. The systems have to hold up under real operational load, in environments where the customer can't tolerate failures or downtime.\nA Staff Software Engineer sets the technical direction that keeps that bar met as the product and the org grow. Not by writing the most code, but by making the decisions that everyone else's code depends on: how a system is structured, where the hard boundaries sit, which tradeoffs are worth the complexity. A Staff Software Engineer is delivering at a high level, building the foundation in the shared architecture no one team owns outright.\nOnebrief is building in the AI-native era, and Staff engineers here lead on how the org uses these tools well: what to trust to them, where human judgment stays non-negotiable, and how to keep quality and ownership intact as the leverage goes up.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn and drive technical strategy across multiple squads, shaping architectural decisions that have a lasting impact on Onebrief's platform.\n\nTackle the company's most ambiguous technical challenges, turning loosely defined problems into scalable solutions that teams can execute.\n\nBuild the shared systems, patterns, and platform capabilities that enable engineering teams to move faster and deliver more effectively.\n\nPartner with engineering and product leadership to influence the technical roadmap, balancing long-term platform health with rapid customer delivery.\n\nShape how engineering works by evolving AI-assisted development practices, engineering standards, and technical decision-making across the organization.\n\nRaise the technical bar by mentoring engineers through design reviews, architectural guidance, and cross-team collaboration.\n\nWhat We Look For\n12+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership across teams and platforms.\n\nStrong experience designing scalable distributed systems, APIs, data models, and cloud-native architectures.\n\nFull-stack expertise with the ability to work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure as needed.\n\nActive user of AI-assisted development tools, with a thoughtful approach to integrating them into engineering workflows.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including driving technical alignment through design docs and architecture discussions.\n\nComfortable leading through ambiguity and influencing without direct authority.\n\nNice to Have Qualifications\nBackground in mission-critical or high-compliance domains (FedRAMP, SOC2, DoD)\n\nExperience with authentication and identity infrastructure at scale (OIDC, SAML, federated identity)\n\nPrior experience in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment scaling through significant inflection points\n\nFamiliarity with event-driven architectures and the trade-offs of async-first system design\n\nIndicators of Success\nA successful Staff Software Engineer will:\nSet technical direction on a problem that spans multiple squads, framing it clearly enough that teams move in the same direction instead of solving it in isolation\n\nMake the architectural calls that others build on, choosing the tradeoffs that save the org months rather than the ones that get paid down for years\n\nOwn the shared architecture in the seams no single squad holds, the systems that everyone depends on and no one is scoped to\n\nRaise the technical judgment of the engineers around them, so good decisions get made even when they're not in the room\n\nRefines the standard for how the org uses AI tooling well, keeping quality and ownership intact as the leverage goes up\n\nTools, Systems & Technologies\nFrontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, shared component libraries, client-side observability\n\nBackend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, secure RESTful APIs, distributed services\n\nAuthentication & Authorization: Keycloak, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, ABAC, JWT, federated identity provider integrations\n\nInfrastructure: Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, container security and secrets management\n\nIntegrations: CSV/Excel/KML importers, PDF exports, DoD and enterprise data systems, secure API gateways, auditing pipelines\n\nNotice to Third Party Recruitment Agencies\nPlease note that Onebrief does not accept unsolicited resumes from recruiters or employment agencies. In the absence of an executed Recruitment Services Agreement, there will be no obligation to any referral compensation or recruiter fee. In the event a recruiter or agency submits a resume or candidate without an agreement Onebrief explicitly reserves the right to pursue and hire those candidate(s) without any financial obligation to the recruiter or agency. Any unsolicited resumes, including those submitted to hiring managers, shall be deemed the property of Onebrief.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6755,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["C4ISR","Team Communication & Collaboration","Defense AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-24T23:55:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":37,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.675,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/onebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/onebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T10:18:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8642,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5903},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5903"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fonebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fonebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fonebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/onebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fonebrief-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-2"}]}
