Senior Engineering Manager

About Obviant The defense market is surging, but the data that drives it hasn't kept up. 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 decid
