We're building something important. We need people who are serious about the mission and serious about the science.
We hire for capability, not just vacancy. Send us a message and tell us who you are and what you bring. We're always interested in exceptional people.
Actually Matters.
Your work directly shapes how the military trains, recovers, and performs under pressure. We're embedded in programs that affect tens of thousands of military personnel every year.
We don't guess. Everything we do is grounded in data, research, and evidence. If you care about doing things right, not just fast, you'll fit in here.
We're lean and growing. You won't get lost in a bureaucracy. You'll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to move fast on things that matter.
We work remotely and we travel to our customers. You'll spend time on military installations, embedded with real units, not just on Zoom calls.
You don't need an instruction manual to create solutions. If you need a clear roadmap before you can move, this isn't the right environment.
You dig until you find the real issue, then build something that actually fits it. Off-the-shelf doesn't live here.
You think creatively. Your best ideas come from connecting things that don't obviously belong together. You've probably always been hard to categorize.
You work hard and play hard. We laugh a lot, we're a little nerdy, and we think that makes the work better, not worse.
You chose OPTML. Not because it was the obvious next step, but because the mission actually means something to you.
Behind the Mission
Scientists, operators, innovators, and practitioners united by one goal: turning human performance from a wellness afterthought into a measurable strategic advantage.
We Hire For
We hire for capability, not just vacancy. If your background matches one of these areas and the mission resonates, we want to know you exist.
A broad category that includes coaches, clinicians, performance specialists, and scientists. If you work at the intersection of human physiology, cognition, behavior, and performance outcomes, this is your home.
People who can build data systems, design measurement frameworks, create decision-ready dashboards, and apply predictive analytics to human performance and readiness outcomes.
Veterans and operators who understand the operational environment, speak the language, and can bridge the gap between what we build and what units actually need in the field.
Relationship builders with DoD networks who understand the procurement landscape and can translate complex capability into compelling conversations with decision-makers.
Program managers who can operate in ambiguity, adapt fast when requirements shift, and keep commanders and stakeholders aligned without losing momentum. Military fluency is a major plus. If you need everything perfectly defined before you can execute, this role isn't for you.
