The summary above was generated by AI

Our mission is to be the technology backbone for strategic competition against peer adversaries. These missions – including intelligence, information operations, special activities, and perception management – are happening today and their success or failure will determine if we go to war tomorrow.

We've been on the front lines of these missions since 2019, and have grown to support a wide range of missions across all US service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and interagency stakeholders. We deploy both hardware and software products to support people on the front lines that span collection, planning / assessments, and effects.

We've grown from $3M in run-rate revenue in 2021 to $80M in run-rate revenue today. We've been profitable since 2022 and have raised $91M in venture capital funding through Series B. We're valued at $1.5B as of 2025.

About the role

The Agents Product Strategist will build and shape the future of AI agent technology in the military. You will work on our most ambitious product and customer deployments, directly focusing on conceptualizing and rapidly prototyping AI agents to solve real-world mission problems. You will forward deploy alongside military users to deeply understand mission-critical challenges, and partner with engineering to build and scale innovative agent-based solutions. AI is evolving rapidly, making it essential that you are not only informed about the latest technologies, but also understand emerging trends and proactively imagine innovative applications aligned with future advancements. 

What you'll do
  • Build and shape the future of AI agent technology in the military. 
  • Identify important mission problems with users that we can solve with AI agents. You will continuously adjust your hypotheses based on new information.  
  • Solve these problems and generate meaningful mission outcomes. This involves embedding with the user groups, becoming a domain expert on the mission problem, and using your creativity, our current products, and sometimes developing new products with the engineering team.  
  • Develop a thesis for a broader program that extends the work you do to other groups and develop a compelling mission pitch that ties to the program, including compelling demos.  
  • Help our business development team win program deals by partnering with them, traveling to customers, and getting those customers irrationally excited about the mission impact we can have.  
What we're looking for
  • A track record of creatively scoping ambiguous problems with the ability to generate strong hypotheses when faced with ambiguity – can be national security or general private sector experience.  
  • Strong ability to conceptualize novel AI agent applications and being able to clearly explain your designs and prototypes. 
  • Deep and current knowledge of AI capabilities and emerging trends. 
  • Technical aptitude to prototype and rapidly validate AI agent systems. 
  • Bias towards achieving outcomes, including willingness to step outside your immediate role to ensure mission success. 
  • Ability to work autonomously and set your own goals. 
  • Ability to learn quickly. 
  • Grit and creativity to keep going when faced with a roadblock. 
  • Active TS / SCI Clearance is a plus but not needed. 
What we offer
We’re proud to offer competitive benefits that support our employees. Some key highlights of our benefits package include:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 100% remote first culture. You can work from anywhere in the US and all full time employees have WeWork access
  • Unlimited PTO including competitive vacation and holiday schedules
  • Lifestyle stipends - Monthly mental health, wellness & fitness stipend, in-home office setup stipend and family planning assistance

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
