About the Job

Requirements

  • Demonstrated strong product judgment and sound prioritization of problems.
  • Experience owning a product through a growth phase with rising users and usage, rather than only early 0-to-1 development.
  • Ability to form independent, defensible opinions from incomplete and conflicting inputs and act under uncertainty.
  • Experience shipping products where security, infrastructure, or deployment realities shaped decisions.
  • High ownership, bias toward action, and responsibility for driving work to completion.
  • Technical fluency sufficient to engage with engineers and understand system constraints and tradeoffs.
  • Ability to communicate decisions, tradeoffs, and reasoning clearly and directly.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance or ability to obtain one.
  • Willingness to travel onsite.

Responsibilities

  • Own product direction end-to-end by turning ambiguous problems into concrete bets and driving them through to shipped capability.
  • Guide the product through rapid growth in users and usage, making tradeoffs to keep it fast, focused, and reliable at scale.
  • Evaluate conflicting inputs from users, stakeholders, and the product; determine what matters for growth and mission impact; translate it into product direction; and push back when needed.
  • Build alignment between Mission and Engineering when they see problems differently, disagree when necessary, and secure commitment to a path forward.
  • Embed with the engineering team and shape solutions that are impactful and technically sound.
  • Work directly with users to understand real-world workflows and needs.
  • Drive adoption from first use to daily reliance and maintain quality as volume grows.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience working with operational, mission-driven, or investigative users.
  • Experience with large language model-based systems.
  • Experience with product analytics, such as SQL.
  • Experience rapidly prototyping ideas using Figma or AI coding tools.
  • Experience with digital forensics or investigations.
  • Exposure to constrained or high-security environments.

About the Company

Vannevar Labs

Secure, decentralized data collection for government

Vannevar Labs provides Decrypt, a platform that helps government agencies and defense contractors collect, analyze, and distribute public data for national security purposes. Decrypt works by aggregating information from diverse global sources without requiring direct user interaction. It uses layered obfuscation to mask data origins and destinations, helping protect user identities and data integrity, and it employs an open architecture that makes it easy to integrate with other government and commercial applications. This approach differentiates Vannevar Labs from competitors by offering a decentralized, easily adaptable data-collection system with built-in anonymity. The company's goal is to supply mission-critical data securely and efficiently through a subscription-based service, delivering reliable tools for data gathering and analysis to its defense and intelligence clients.
