The opportunity
The OpenAI for Government team is a mission-driven group bringing frontier AI to the U. S.
What you'll do
Build trusted relationships with IC mission owners, analysts, collectors,: operators, Chief Information Officers, Chief Data Officers, Chief Information Security Officers, and acquisition leaders to identify and prioritize high-value, mission-ready AI use cases.
Own delivery of complex IC engagements from discovery and technical shaping: through pilot, security authorization, production deployment, customer acceptance, and sustained adoption; maintain accountability for contractual milestones, integrated schedules, scope, and mission outcomes.
Translate intelligence mission requirements, analytic tradecraft, data: constraints, and security policies into clear technical requirements, architectural decisions, delivery plans, and executive-level communications; lead technical exchanges, design reviews, and customer briefings.
Partner with IC elements, mission integrators, cloud and infrastructure: providers, industry partners, and academia to develop AI applications for intelligence analysis, collection and exploitation workflows, cyber defense, multilingual research, knowledge retrieval, and other priority missions.
Lead cross-functional teams spanning Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions: Architecture, Research, Product, Security, Legal, Privacy, and customer mission teams to design, evaluate, and deliver generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic workflow solutions.
Establish delivery operating rhythms, program roadmaps, milestone and: dependency tracking, risk and decision governance, customer reporting, and measurable indicators of mission impact, user adoption, model quality, and operational readiness.
What they're looking for
- Coordinate deployment and integration requirements across approved classified: and unclassified environments, IC cloud, restricted networks, and multiple security domains; work with security and accreditation stakeholders on identity and access management, data handling, cross-domain constraints, the Risk Management Framework, Authority to Operate, and applicable IC security requirements such as ICD 503.
- Partner with customer security, privacy, civil liberties, legal, and analytic: leaders to incorporate human oversight, source provenance, explainability, model evaluations, red-teaming, bias mitigation, and lifecycle monitoring consistent with the IC’s AI ethics principles and analytic standards.
- Anticipate and mitigate technical, operational, contractual, and mission: risks; manage changing requirements, integration dependencies, delivery tradeoffs, and escalation paths while maintaining program velocity and stakeholder confidence.
- Support early relationship-building, opportunity qualification, solution: shaping, and proposal development with Account Directors and partners; bring mission and technical insight to commercial strategy, statements of work, customer acceptance, and long-term IC account growth.
