Careers

Build the rail that lets allied tech firms enter the US federal market.

Bridger is a small, deliberately-scoped team. We don’t hire broadly — when we open a role, it’s because the work is real and pre-funded for at least 12 months.

§01 · Open roles

We’re not actively hiring publicly right now.

The current operator-stage Bridger team works in tight loops between contractor onboarding, intelligence-engine refinement, and marketplace facilitation. We don’t have an open position to publish today.

If your background is unusually strong in one of the lanes below, send a note anyway — we keep a slim short-list and will reach out when the next role opens.

§02 · The lanes we hire from

What we look for, when we look.

Federal procurement domain

Former federal contracting officer, prime business development lead, or DoD acquisition staff. You know how a SOW is shaped, how a CPARS rating gets written, and why an 8(a) set-aside changes the bid math.

Allied-procurement policy

Defence policy lawyer (US, AUKUS, Five Eyes), trade-control specialist (ITAR/EAR/UK SPIRE/EU dual-use), or international-trade analyst. You can read 22 CFR §126.7 and explain it to a foreign vendor in plain English.

Backend / infra engineering

Next.js + Postgres + Vercel at scale. Experience with multi-tenant data isolation, audit logging, and FedRAMP-adjacent security postures. Comfortable owning a service end-to-end.

Editorial intelligence

Former defence-news editor, congressional staff researcher, or intelligence analyst with public-source-only practice. You can write a 250-word brief that holds up under scrutiny.

§03 · How we work

Honest about the operating model.

Remote-first. Async-default. US East Coast working hours overlap of 4-5 hours/day. Compensation is competitive base + meaningful equity, no junk benefits. We do not require clearances for any current role.

We commit to a maximum 4-step interview loop (intro conversation, deep-dive on a real artefact you’ve built, 30-min written take-home, founder reference). No leetcode. Decisions in under 10 business days from first conversation.
