About the Role
Onebrief is hiring a Solutions Engineer to lead and support the deployment of our operational planning platform across secure U.S. military environments. This is a technically fluent, external-facing role focused on enabling fast, secure, and successful implementations in high-stakes settings.
You’ll work closely with our Platform Engineering, Sales, and Customer Relations teams to design solutions, guide stakeholders through technical hurdles, and deliver the system in a way that builds long-term trust. From discovery to accreditation to go-live, you'll help ensure deployments succeed. Not by building the systems yourself, but by translating requirements and supporting implementation teams with clarity and credibility.
About You
You are technically fluent, detail-oriented, and experienced in navigating complex delivery environments. You work effectively across engineering, customer, and compliance stakeholders to drive implementation forward under constraints.
You’re calm under pressure, comfortable in complex stakeholder environments, and always focused on forward motion. You know how to bridge engineering, compliance, and mission context and are comfortable leading without needing to be the loudest voice in the room.
What You’ll Do
Deployment Engineering: Coordinate and support the technical delivery of new deployments, including infrastructure validation, network configuration checks, and system readiness verification. You should expect to be writing code in order to configure new deployments and support newly established environments.
Technical Discovery: Lead technical discovery and scoping efforts in coordination with Sales and Engineering, with a focus on constraint-heavy or multi-network environments.
Accreditation Support: Assist in the creation and review of required security documentation, including STIG checklists and ATO artifacts, to ensure alignment with customer accreditation processes; work in concert with Onebrief’s cybersecurity professionals and Technical Delivery Managers to secure deployment accreditation under tight timelines to support customer needs.
Stakeholder Alignment: Align technical stakeholders on deployment requirements, constraints, and tradeoffs to accelerate time-to-value. Collaborate with Site Reliability Engineers to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to proactively identify and resolve system issues, ensure reliability and performance of the Onebrief platform.
Collaboration: Translate field deployment insights into structured workflows and productized implementation patterns in partnership with internal teams. Support the optimizing and deploying cloud resources (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and on-premise network configurations to support secure and efficient application operations. Work closely with customer and infrastructure team to foster a culture of shared ownership and continuous improvement.
