Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work, Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster, smarter, and more efficient.
We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.
Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $123m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $1.1B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
About the roleWe're hiring Staff Software Engineers to take on some of the most challenging and meaningful full-stack problems at Onebrief; the kind that sit at the intersection of system design, product complexity, and real-world stakes. Think: real-time collaboration infra, interactive planning UIs, and high-trust workflows that operate under real constraints.

Drive technical direction within your team, while contributing to architecture across adjacent systems
Support and unblock peers through async reviews, pairing, and mentorship

Build across the stack, using TypeScript/React/Node with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kubernetes under the hood
~6 - 10+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, including owning meaningful product or platform surfaces
Systems thinking and pragmatic architectural judgment, especially in complex environments
A track record of shipping in B2B SaaS or similarly demanding domains
Clear, context-rich communication across PRs, RFCs, and collaborative docs
