Full Job Description
Overview

We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead the deployment and evolution of LIGER, an enterprise AI platform.  You’ll be the senior technical owner of the program: bridging hands-on engineering execution with senior government leadership, mitigating technical and programmatic risk, and making sure the AI capabilities we ship directly support mission outcomes. This position requires a secret clearance - US citizenship is required.

 

This role requires deep expertise in cloud platforms, federal compliance environments, and agentic AI systems, plus the ability to coordinate complex development efforts and align senior stakeholders. You’ll move quickly in an environment that emphasizes building, deploying, and iterating in parallel, communicating clearly, driving consensus, fostering strong team collaboration, and owning the end-to-end solution lifecycle with the customer.

 

As Technical Program Manager, you’ll work daily with the LIGER platform lead, engineering team, product manager, and stakeholders. You’ll have real influence over how AI capabilities land in a real federal mission environment.

• Provide technical guidance and advisory support to personnel and partner contractors

• Stay current on GenAI, agentic AI patterns, cloud infrastructure advancements, and evolving DHS and federal digital standards

• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity, data governance, and AI risk management requirements

• Experience interfacing between hands-on technical teams and senior stakeholders, creating delivery roadmaps from scratch

• Strong familiarity with federal standards and requirements for digital, cloud, cyber, and data systems

• Experience working directly with federal stakeholders and partner contractors

• Ability to clearly communicate complex AI and technical concepts to non-technical audiences
