Data Specialist

Vannevar Labs brings innovative, robust, and scalable software design to the public servants working in defense and national security keeping our country safe.

As a team, we exist because we believe in public service, and we think that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses.

Our flagship product is Decrypt, a software platform for collecting and processing foreign language text data with a UI for enabling users to quickly interpret the data. Decrypt is driving some of our most important military and foreign policy decisions by enabling our government partners to understand and respond to foreign actors in ways previously not possible.

We are a growth startup with investment from Felicis Ventures, DFJ Growth, Aloft VC, General Catalyst, Point72, Costanoa Ventures, and Shield Capital.

We are looking for a mission-driven individual to join our Data Team leading new data discovery and managing our datasets. You’ll work with the Mission Success and Product teams to scope out data discovery priorities according to user groups’ mission requirements. To be successful in this role you must be insatiably curious and a quick learner who dives deep to understand unfamiliar subject areas.

Data is the backbone of our product and as part of a small data team, you will have an immediate outsized impact on national security and the company. We're growing quickly, and the right person for this role should be able to work in partnership with stakeholders, thrive in a fast-paced environment with many competing priorities, be self-directed, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
