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.
About the Role:As the Engineering Manager of the Delivery Team, you will lead a cross-functional team of Platform, Software, and Application Security Engineers responsible for the systems and practices that move software from development into production. The deliver pipeline belongs to you. This includes all systems and standards related to release orchestration and security automation that allows Onebrief to deploy reliably in mission-critical environments.
The quality of your team’s work determines whether engineers can ship confidently, whether deployments behave predictably across environments, and whether our software remains secure and compliant. Success requires constant communication, strong technical judgment, discipline, and clear ownership.
This role reports directly to the Director of Infrastructure.
What You’ll DoLead and develop a multidisciplinary team of engineers, setting a high bar for ownership, execution, and operational excellence.
Own the systems and engineering practices behind CI/CD, release automation, and environment management across the company.
Establish standards, in conjunction with other directorates, for thoroughly tested releases, rollback procedures, and operational readiness so teams can ship safely and predictably.
Ensure security controls are integrated directly into the software delivery lifecycle, including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, artifact integrity, and policy enforcement.
Reduce deployment risk, shorten recovery times, and create clear operational expectations around release quality, uptime, and incident response.
Partner with various technical teams to provide support for reusable tooling, disparate deployment patterns, and repeatable workflows that improve delivery without creating bottlenecks.
Build systems and processes that support traceability, access control, change management, and compliance requirements across regulated customer environments.
You'll do well in this role if you bring:
5+ years of management experience, preferably in software development.
Strong operational ownership with a bias towards action.
Sound judgement in high-stakes situations.
Experience with release trains.
Familiarity with air-gapped environments.
A record of improving release quality and organizational execution.
Strong understanding of GitOps principles with experience enforcing declarative, automated, auditable, and controlled promotion of changes across environments.
Nice to have qualifications:
Experience supporting deployments in defense, government, or other highly regulated industries.
Familiarity with Risk Management Frameworks (RMF) or similar compliance frameworks that feed into authorization pathways such as FedRAMP.
Experience building internal developer platforms or standardized deployment workflows.
Background in software engineering.

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.
