# `Vannevar Labs` — Job Pipeline Surface
|
||||
|
||||
> Forgejo bucket: `marcus/job-vannevar`. Maintained as part of Scott's
|
||||
> Staff+ SWE job-pipeline. **Surface only** — no public posts, no
|
||||
> outreach sent, until `sscoble` approves.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Why Vannevar Labs
|
||||
|
||||
Vannevar Labs builds defense-intelligence AI for the U.S. national-security community — Mission Agents, Search, and ATO (Authorization To Operate) software. Defense intel is the canonical "feedback loop is absent" dark-factory domain: the operator's decision is downstream of agent output and cannot audit the agent's reasoning in real time. The Speckl × Vannevar demo (access control provenance compile) demonstrates compile-time policy provenance for mission-agent access control, directly mapping Scott's OneBrief defense-tech and B.Well regulated-platform experience to Vannevar's mission-agent + ATO surface.

|
||||
|
||||
### Full JD body
|
||||
|
||||
*Verbatim JD text should be pasted here from the Greenhouse job board at outreach time. The v3 shortlist captured the role titles, locations, and department context; the full JD body will be fetched from `https://www.vannevarlabs.com` or Greenhouse before outreach is approved.*
|
||||
|
||||
**Key verified product context from v3 research:**
|
||||
- Defense-intelligence AI platform for the U.S. national-security community.
|
||||
- Verified tagline: *"Restoring Deterrence, Reclaiming Advantage."*
|
||||
- Products: **Mission Agents** (agentic AI for intel workflows), **Search**, and **ATO** (Authorization To Operate) software.
|
||||
- Series B (~$150M+ raised; specific round size unverified in this pass).
|
||||
- Headcount ~150–300 (33 open Greenhouse roles is a strong signal).
|
||||
- Mission Agents = agentic AI in production where the human can't catch the bug.
|
||||
- ATO = the literal compliance-automation dark-factory problem: prove your system is safe to operate against a regulator's checklist. Speckl-adjacent.
|
||||
- Security Platform as a first-class team — verified open role: Engineering Manager, Security Platform (Remote).
|
||||
- Defense-tech peer graph = Scott's current OneBrief network. Warmest defense-tech entry on the shortlist.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Public surface
|
||||
|
||||
### Hiring manager (highest confidence)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Name:** Brett Granberg
|
||||
- **Title:** CEO / Co-founder
|
||||
- **GH handle:** (to be verified)
|
||||
- **LinkedIn:** (to be verified)
|
||||
- **Email domain:** vannevarlabs.com (not directly verified in this pass)
|
||||
- **Signals:** CEO/co-founder; publicly known from press but not directly verified in this research pass. Flagged in v3 shortlist as "publicly known from press but not directly verified."
|
||||
- **Confidence:** medium (founder identity publicly known from press; direct verification pending — the v3 subagent flagged this explicitly)
|
||||
|
||||
### Adjacent public figures (good reply targets before DM)
|
||||
|
||||
- Engineering leadership for Mission Agents, Security Platform, and DevOps teams — to be surfaced via Greenhouse/GitHub/LinkedIn before outreach
|
||||
- OneBrief colleagues with Vannevar connections — warm-intro path to be verified
|
||||
|
||||
### Highest-value reads (3-5)
|
||||
|
||||
- Vannevar Labs homepage — *"Restoring Deterrence, Reclaiming Advantage."* — mission framing
|
||||
- Mission Agents product documentation — the agentic AI dark-factory surface
|
||||
- ATO (Authorization To Operate) product — the compliance-automation dark-factory
|
||||
- Open Greenhouse role descriptions for EM DevOps and EM Security Platform — the role-shape match
|
||||
- Defense-tech press coverage on Vannevar's funding and product launches
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Artifact plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Premise
|
||||
|
||||
The Speckl × Vannevar demo is an access control provenance compile that demonstrates compile-time policy provenance for mission-agent access control. The artifact proves Scott can build the policy-provenance layer that Vannevar's Mission Agents + ATO products need — directly mapping his OneBrief defense-tech and B.Well regulated-platform experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Repo layout
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
marcus/job-vannevar/
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
└── (references https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-access-control)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Artifact URL
|
||||
|
||||
**https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-access-control**
|
||||
|
||||
This is the Speckl × Vannevar demo. Build path is `git clone` + `cd speckl-access-control`. Expected deliverable is a working 4-artifact compile output.
|
||||
|
||||
### What it demonstrates
|
||||
|
||||
- Intent-level provenance compiled through Speckl for access control policies
|
||||
- Content-addressed, reproducible policy artifacts for mission-agent authorization
|
||||
- ATO-grade audit trail compiled by construction, not verified after the fact
|
||||
- A working compile output a hiring manager can clone, build, and verify
|
||||
- Direct mapping of Scott's OneBrief defense-tech + B.Well regulated-platform experience to Vannevar's product surface
|
||||
|
||||
### Effort estimate
|
||||
|
||||
<50 hours (demo already built; README + packaging for external consumption is the remaining work)
|
||||
|
||||
### Sketch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build path
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-access-control
|
||||
cd speckl-access-control
|
||||
# Expected: 4-artifact compile output (Speckl provenance manifests)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
