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 an active Secret clearance.

 

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.

  • Combine deep technical expertise with strong stakeholder management to align leaders behind AI-driven solution approaches
  • Oversee deployment and evolution of GenAI platforms, AI agents, and supporting data pipelines, mitigating technical, security, and delivery risk
  • Partner with stakeholders to integrate AI capabilities into existing cloud, data, and enterprise IT environments
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation: system architectures, agent interaction diagrams, AI workflow specifications, and solution design narratives
  • 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
  • Partner with program leadership to optimize cost efficiency and prevent cost overruns in AI platform delivery
  • Provide clear, regular status updates to senior leaders and LMI management
  • Manage program deliverables, financials, schedules, and team performance across the full solution lifecycle

  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, and cloud deployments, including security, cyber, and data infrastructure
  • Demonstrated experience implementing or managing GenAI platforms, AI agents, or AI-enabled workflows in enterprise or federal mission environments
  • 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

 

What Will Set You Apart

 

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field
  • Direct experience leading delivery of GenAI or agentic AI systems in federal environments\
  • FedRAMP authorization or assessment experience
  • Experience leading delivery of operational federal solutions where mission constraints (latency, availability, security) materially shape design
  • Relevant certifications: Security+, Cloud+, Data+, CySA+, Solution Architect (AWS or Azure), PMP, Scrum/Agile
