Outcome Engineer - Seattle, WA

Onebrief • Seattle, WA

2d • $200,000 - $320,000 • Remote

About The Position

Onebrief builds collaboration and AI-powered workflow software for military planning and operational coordination. The Outcome Engineer role is part of the team inventing Onebrief's AI Engineering Platform. This role is focused on building the 'factory that builds the software,' moving from managed backlogs to infinite execution and creating the foundation for product development in an agentic world. The company is looking for pioneers to join this new field, backed by leading investors and valued at over $2 billion.

Requirements

• You are a coder who is ready to automate your own job.
• You see code as a liability and outcomes as the asset.
• You love building products, tools, platforms, and force multipliers.
• You understand the models at a deep level but want to apply them to messy, real-world production systems.
• You care about emergent behavior and multi-agent coordination.
• You have strong opinions about world models.
• You have experience building complex simulations or games.
• You understand how to define rules, entities, and validation logic for autonomous agents.
• You are obsessive about products.
• You excel at translating ambiguous user needs into rigorous deliverables, managing complexity, and unknown unknowns.
• You view infrastructure as a product.
• You are expert in observability, reliability, and automation.
• You want to apply o11y to the new world of probabilistic AI systems.
• You're not afraid to create with technology.
• You care deeply about building agentic systems that make more humane products and decisions.
• Regardless of your title, you have already built your own agents.
• You've hit the limits of frameworks like LangChain or AutoGen and have strong opinions on how to orchestrate reliable reasoning.
• You must have a history of shipping.
• You need to understand the visceral difference between a prototype and a product that users rely on.
• You built with an agent last week. You're building with one right now.
• You know the frustration of a prompt that worked yesterday failing today.
• We are all-remote but high-bandwidth.
• We leave video links open while we eat lunch.
• Our pets and kids know our coworkers.
• If you prefer to go dark for three weeks and emerge with a PR, this is not the team for you.
• We think, debate, and build together, often synchronously.
• We value deep expertise, but we value the willingness to share it and empower others even more.
• No silos.
• In a distributed, asynchronous, fast-moving environment, clarity of thought is demonstrated through clarity of writing.
• You share bad ideas to get to good ones.
• You document your experiments, your architectural decisions, and your failures.

Responsibilities

• Architect Multi-Agent Systems: Design orchestration layers for specialized agents to collaborate, debate, and execute complex tasks reliably, moving from simple prompts to robust, stateful agentic workflows.
• Implement Automated Governance: Create guardrails and policy engines for safe and fast operation of autonomous systems, building infrastructure that replaces manual review with programmatic constraints.
• Engineer Context and Memory: Build semantic infrastructure (knowledge graphs, vector stores) for deep, structural understanding of codebase and business intent, solving the 'blank slate' problem for autonomous workers.
• Build Rigorous Evaluation Frameworks: Develop testing harnesses to define success, moving beyond 'vibes' to deterministic validation of agentic outputs using formal specifications and automated metrics.
• Design Self-Healing Loops: Connect observability data directly to agent actions for systems that detect, analyze, and autonomously remediate failures.
• Prototype and Deploy: Rapidly prototype new agentic tools and deploy them to production for internal teams and customers.
• Experiment and Learn: Experiment with new models, orchestration techniques, and validation methods daily in this new field.
