Job details

Software Engineer, Backend (Collection)

Vannevar is a mission-driven defense technology company building agentic AI to support national security decision-making. We're seeking a backend engineer focused on hard-to-access data collection—improving resilience and scale of collection systems under adversarial conditions while making that data reliably available to agents and engineering teams.

Skills

  • Deep backend and distributed systems expertise
  • Hands-on experience with browser automation and anti-bot evasion techniques
  • Knowledge of fingerprinting, signature mitigation, and managed attribution
  • Experience building distributed scraping or collection architectures
  • Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript
  • Strong instrumentation, monitoring, and data-driven debugging skills
  • Familiarity with agentic systems and making data tool-call ready
  • Comfort with occasional full-stack work (React) and infrastructure components

Responsibilities

  • Learn and extend existing data collection systems and differentiate capabilities for mission-critical datasets
  • Design and implement robust, scalable collection architectures resilient to advanced anti-abuse and detection systems
  • Develop and maintain browser automation, fingerprinting mitigation, and managed attribution tooling
  • Instrument and monitor collection pipelines to ensure data quality, availability, and operational integrity
  • Collaborate with mission and engineering teams to make collected data tool-call ready (schemas, metadata, retrieval patterns)
  • Prioritize engineering efforts under uncertainty and contribute to cross-team technical decisions

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Advanced degree preferred but not required; relevant experience can substitute for formal education

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Remote-friendly with WeWork access
  • Unlimited PTO, shared federal holiday downtime, and company-wide year-end off time
  • 401(k) match
  • Lifestyle & wellbeing stipends
  • Salary top-up during military reserve duty
  • Fully paid parental leave
  • Child and pet care reimbursement during travel
