Position Description

Sayari is hiring a Technical Program Manager to own delivery of an enterprise program deploying the Sayari Platform inside U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The program has two parallel tracks: configuring the platform for CBP mission workflows, and taking the system through the DHS security authorization process (Authority to Operate) so it can process live government data. You own the plan, the dependencies, and the accountability for both.

Federal deployments take several forms: a Sayari-operated enclave in a government cloud region, a deployment into an agency-provisioned cloud tenancy, or an on-premises installation. Each changes who provides the security controls, who may access the environment, what personnel security is required, and how long authorization takes. You will build the schedule around those tradeoffs.

Senior individual contributor based in the Washington, D.C. area. Expect to be on-site at CBP 2 to 3 days per week, more during kickoff and assessment fieldwork. Much of the job is producing documents the government will read, sign, or act on, so clear writing matters. Reports to the SVP of Government Solutions and Services.

How This Role Fits the Team

• Forward Deployed Engineers configure the platform, write infrastructure-as-code, build the agents that automate CB

and the DHS Trusted Tester methodology.

• Federal privacy compliance (PTA, PIA, SORN) and Section 508 experience.
• Familiarity with CBP trade and customs workflows or import and export risk analysis.
• Familiarity with agentic AI platforms, large language models, or graph analytics.
• PMP, PgMP, CGRC, or CISSP certification.
• Experience at a high-growth government or defense technology company.

The target base salary for this position is $180,000 - $228,000 plus bonus and equity. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including location, local market variances, candidate experience and expertise, internal peer equity, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
