A Judgment Ontology, encoding over a decade of investigative tradecraft, and Superconductor, an agentic orchestration platform, deliver AI that reasons like an expert analyst, shows its work, and traces every finding to its source.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C. 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 CBP workflows, and implement technical controls. The Account Executive owns the commercial relationship, executive sponsorship, and expansion. You turn contract obligations into a plan and the plan into weekly accountability for Sayari, subcontractors, and the government. In every CBP working session, you convert open questions into written decisions with an owner and a date. Job Responsibilities Program Ownership Integrated program plan : Build and maintain the master schedule for deployment and authorization: work breakdown, critical path, dependencies, and explicit allowances for each government-side gate. Contract delivery : Own scope, schedule, and contractual milestones from award through go-live. Track every deliverable, key personnel requirement, and reporting obligation. Deployment model decisions : Lead the analysis of hosting and boundary options with Sayari Security, Infrastructure, and the FDE team. Present the tradeoffs to CBP and Sayari leadership and drive a decision. Security Authorizatio
