Companies, government, and investors are forced to perform heavily manual processes and piece together hundreds of disparate sources to make decisions. Obviant has built the data source of truth and AI tools for defense acquisition. We fuse information from thousands of sources (structured and unstructured) to provide a cohesive picture of budget, programs, the organizations running them, and much more. We already have high customer satisfaction at top-tier customers, we’re growing fast, backed by top-tier funds, and supported by national security veterans and technology industry advisors. The Role We're hiring an Account Executive to own the commercial defense market, specifically the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). You'll work in close partnership with our Government GTM function, sharing intelligence, coordinating on accounts where government and commercial interests intersect, and leveraging Obviant's existing presence to open doors faster. Your focus is on prime contractors, subcontractors, and defense-adjacent commercial companies that rely on intelligence to find, win, and grow their defense business — including defense consultants and lobbyists who advise on acquisition strategy and budget positioning. You’ll own the full sales cycle for this segment and work directly with our founders, with a short line to product to influence the roadmap based on what you hear in the field. What You'll Do Own the full sales cycle for DIB accounts, from prospecting and discovery through contract close and renewal Build and manage a healthy pipeline aligned with Obviant's commercial growth targets Develop deep relationships with business development leaders, capture managers, competitive intelligence teams, and C-suite executives across the defense industrial base Translate Obviant's platform capabilities into clear ROI for defense contractors navigating program captures, competitive landscapes, and new market entry Partner with our Mission Success team to ensure smooth handoffs and strong retention in your book of business Bring field intelligence back to product and engineering. Your conversations shape our roadmap Build and iterate on messaging, outbound sequences, and sales plays specific to the DIB segment Qualifications Required 5 to 7 years of B2B sales experience, with a meaningful portion selling directly into the Defense Industrial Base (prime contractors, Tier 1/2 subcontractors, or defense-adjacent commercial firms) Demonstrated track record of exceeding revenue targets in a consultative, complex-sale environment. You should be able to speak clearly to your own individual new-logo production — deal count, typical ACV, and quota attainment — separate from any team you managed or supported Deep familiarity with how defense contractors use competitive intelligence, BD pipelines, and capture strategy, so you understand the workflows Obviant improves Ability to manage multi-threaded sales cycles with multiple stakeholders across business development, competitive intelligence, finance, and executive leadership A clear point of view on who owns the Obviant buying decision inside a target account — BD VP, capture manager, competitive intelligence lead, or some combination — and how you’ve been able to get to that person previously. Strong communication and presence. You can credibly engage a BD VP, a capture manager, and a CEO in the same week Detail-oriented pipeline management and forecasting discipline Comfortable operating with high autonomy and accountability in a fast-moving, early-stage environment Strong references (upon request) from current and prior roles, including former customers and/or employers. Nice to Have Experience as an early GTM hire at a startup, building a segment from scratch Existing relationships across the DIB, including BD leads, capture teams, and competitive intel functions; relationships with defense consultants or lobbyists who advise on acquisition and budget strategy are a meaningful plus Background in defense acquisition, government contracting, or national security markets Our Working Style Mission orientation: the work matters, and we want teammates who feel that weight High ownership: you'll run your segment and can expect autonomy and accountability in equal measure Directness: we communicate with candor and assume good intent Builder's mindset: we move fast and expect you to shape how we go to market, not just execute a handed-down playbook Bias toward action: we’d rather move and course-correct than wait for perfect information Compensation And Benefits Competitive base salary commensurate with experience Variable compensation tied to bookings, with uncapped upside for strong performers Meaningful equity stake in a well-funded, fast-growing company Health, dental, and vision coverage Flexible, high-autonomy work environment Direct line to founders and real influence on product direction Our Principles We live these every day.

Companies, government, and investors are forced into heavily manual processes, stitching together hundreds of disparate sources to make decisions that carry real national security weight. Obviant has built the data source of truth and the AI tooling for defense acquisition. We fuse thousands of structured and unstructured sources into a coherent picture of budget, programs, and the organizations running them. We have high satisfaction at top-tier customers, we're growing fast, we're backed by leading venture funds, and we're advised by veterans from national security and the technology industry. The Role We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to own one team end to end either our data engineering team or our product/web application team, depending on where your strengths land. You'll inherit an existing team and, as we grow, help expand it. Your hiring bar becomes the team's bar. This is not a coordination role. You'll set the technical bar, run the delivery cadence, grow the engineers on your team, and stay close enough to the code to earn their respect. We set obsessively high standards, and here that isn't a slogan. Our customers make acquisition and investment decisions on what we show them, so being roughly right is not a viable product. Others might say we're too particular about it. That's fine we're running our own race, not theirs. We're looking for someone who pairs technical excellence with the ability to extend that practice into a team leader who stays credible in the work while multiplying it through others. What You'll Own Four areas below, with the understanding that the list is never complete. Nobody here says \"that isn't my job.\" Technical leadership Set technical direction with your senior engineers, and guide the team through design tradeoffs, architecture decisions, and implementation quality Own the engineering standards and the quality bar you decide what \"good\" means on your team and make it stick, without becoming the bottleneck Raise the bar of the whole team, not just your own output. Mentor, review, and build a culture where quality is the default rather than a checklist someone enforces Drop into a tactical role when it's the fastest way to unblock the team or land a business-critical outcome. Do, don't say People growth Develop engineers deliberately: real growth plans, direct feedback on a real cadence, and clear leveling conversations Keep it all in the open. Deliver hard feedback with candor and empathy, face to face, never through backchannels Make the hard calls with care and spine diagnose underperformance early, coach honestly, and handle exits with dignity for the person and clarity for the team Hire and expand the team as we grow, holding the bar under pressure to fill seats Manage up as well as down. Keep leadership and your peers ahead of what's coming, escalate early, and make sure nobody is ever caught off guard by your team's direction or risks Team operations & delivery Reach for culture before process. Ownership, high accountability, and zero excuses solve more than any ritual will add process only where culture alone can't carry the weight Keep the rituals you do have honest: co-create them with the team, cut what's theater, and improve estimation and predictability over time Run retros that close the loop improvements that ship and stick, not a list nobody revisits Manage to a small set of meaningful health and delivery metrics, and guard against gaming them (velocity is a diagnostic, never a target) Product & business alignment Partner with whoever sits closest to the customer for your team Product, Design, and GtM if you're leading product engineering; analysts, AI/ML, and data consumers if you're leading data engineering. The partners shift; the customer obsession doesn't Translate mission and business goals into clear engineering outcomes, and be able to explain to anyone how your team's work moves the business Push back with conviction, clarity, and a willingness to have your mind changed Keep the team focused and healthy when priorities shift, without becoming a silo Required What We're Looking For 7+ years of engineering experience, including substantial time leading and growing engineering teams Real technical depth you can still demonstrate you can reason through a system design, spot the failure modes, and say what you'd cut to ship first A track record of owning delivery for a team: planning, estimation, and reliable execution, including holding the line on performance, scalability, and technical debt Direct experience with the hard parts of management hard feedback that landed, a struggling performer you diagnosed and worked, a real exit you ran well Strong communication in every direction. You can push back on leadership, explain technical work to a non-technical audience, coach engineers, and over communicate before anyone has to ask Comfortable with high autonomy and accountability in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. You're at home in ambiguity and you don't wait for direction Strong references from current and prior roles Nice to have Experience building complex data or AI systems large-scale ingestion, pipeline orchestration, schema evolution, entity resolution or managing fast-moving web application teams Background in government, defense tech, or another regulated environment An active TS/SCI clearance, or eligibility to obtain one Experience owning platform-level infrastructure from initial design through scaling it across multiple teams How You'll Operate Here Four traits show up in everything we do, and we'll probe for all four when we talk: Bias for action: you move decisively with incomplete information. Action is the best medicine Strong opinions, loosely held: you argue a clear point of view, then update quickly when the evidence changes. Intellectual honesty over ego Continuous improvement: you measure how your team works, run real feedback loops, and close them People growth: you develop engineers, give direct feedback, and handle the hard calls with both care and spine Our Principles We live these every day. If they don't sound like you, this won't be a fit and we'd both rather know now. Impact. Our work matters. We take a lot of pride in building to advance mission outcomes. Overdeliver. We go above and beyond in everything we do - creating products and serving our users Hustle. We get stuff done, no matter what it takes. Empathy. Our users’ problems are our own.
