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 $320m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Sapphire Ventures, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
Position OverviewBattle Road is building the future of operational simulation.
Using AtomEngine, our proprietary cloud-based simulation platform, we model complex environments, interactions, and decisions so leaders can test high-stakes scenarios before committing in the real world.
We combine deep experience from the video game industry with defense-grade modeling to make the world playable.
As our platform scales, we are building our first dedicated data engineering function.
We are hiring a Data Engineering Lead to architect and lead that effort.
Why This Role ExistsAtomEngine generates extremely rich simulation data including event streams, telemetry, state snapshots, and scenario metadata.
Today, much of that data is underutilized.
We are investing in a scalable cloud data platform that will:
Capture and normalize high-volume simulation outputs
Enable scenario comparison and replay
Support analytics and AI workflows
Improve explainability and traceability
Power internal and customer-facing insights
This is a greenfield opportunity to design and own the intelligence backbone of a growing simulation platform.
What you will doAs Data Engineering Lead, you will build and lead Battle Road’s data platform from the ground up.
You will:
Architect our AWS-based data warehouse and ingestion pipelines
Transform high-volume simulation outputs into clean, trusted datasets
Establish schema standards and data contracts with engineering
Enable scenario replay, comparison, and traceability
Support analytics and AI workflows across the platform
Hire and develop a high-performing data engineering team
Within your first year, you will stand up a scalable warehouse, integrate core simulation feeds, and deliver reliable insight into product usage and simulation behavior.
You will be modeling a dynamic world state, not just logs.
This is simulation-grade telemetry with high-dimensional, fast-changing data.
What We Look For5+ years of professional experience as a Data Engineer or Data Platform Engineer.
Deep experience building production-grade batch and streaming pipelines
Proficiency in Python, SQL, and at least one data processing framework.
Experience with cloud-based data infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Experience designing schemas and modeling complex systems
Experience leading or mentoring engineers
Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills
Ability to reason about data as a product, not a byproduct.
High-volume telemetry or event streaming systems
Gaming, simulation, or physics-based platforms
Versioned or replayable data systems
Exposure to AI or ML workflows
You can sit, use a computer, and a phone for extended periods of time.
Work is primarily performed indoors.

What We Do
Before Onebrief, military planning and collaboration was slow, inefficient, and resource-intensive. Building slides with no version control as partners collaborated would have staffs spend weeks or months on a single product or document.
With Onebrief, these workflows are now simple and collaboration between large commands is efficient. Staff optimization is the key to building a more resilient, more effective military. Today Onebrief users report at least 2x time savings - and growing.
Onebrief is a first of its kind software for the military. While many others have tried to build a solution for this problem, Onebrief’s “card” structure for reusing data and enabling real time updates is what makes this possible. Core features and attributes that make this platform powerful include:
- Global Collaboration
- Real-Time Updates
- AI Automation
- Interoperability + Integrations
- Deployable across Secret and Top Secret Networks
Mission Driven
Onebrief is composed of professionals from backgrounds of all kinds - spanning veterans across forces and organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software giants.
Onebrief is more than just a software platform; it's a mission-driven company dedicated to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of military planning. By joining the team, you'll contribute to solutions that directly support national security and the work of service members.
Your work directly addresses critical challenges that military planners and operators face daily. Every line of code and every design decision contributes to real-world outcomes.
The software was designed and built by a team of experienced planners - lending a nuanced perspective on the challenges our partners face. Our team embeds alongside users - from
the Pentagon to the Indo-Pacific - to build a platform that meets their unique needs.
Rapid, Strategic Growth
Our users love the platform and growth is scaling, most recently reporting operational usage growth at a 19,600% annualized rate. Stronger utilization is underway and we’re at an exciting period of advancement.
As a rapidly growing organization, you'll directly influence its direction and long-term success. Over the past year we’ve seen exciting growth metrics:
First, our headcount has grown 150% YoY to keep pace with our product advancement and customer growth.
Our funding has skyrocketed, most recently raising our Series C, led by top-tier venture investors who have deep expertise in defense tech.
Why Work With Us
Impactful Transformation
At Onebrief, we believe optimizing the military staff is the most impactful thing - on a per-dollar basis - in defense tech right now. This has the potential to save the department of defense billions of dollars and save users countless hours. It’s a longstanding problem that we’re uniquely positioned to solve.
