Every organization runs on intelligence: years of accumulated knowledge, decisions, and context. As AI takes on more of that work, companies face a choice: rent that intelligence from vendors who keep the data, the context, and the results, or own it.
OpenTeams exists to make ownership possible.
Founded by Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and SciPy, and built by people with deep roots across the open-source ecosystem, including NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, and Jupyter, we help enterprises and governments build AI they control, govern, and evolve themselves.
If that sounds like your kind of work, we'd like to meet you.
Location: Washington, DC; Denver, CO; or Colorado Springs, CO preferred (hybrid). Highly qualified candidates outside these locations may also be considered for unclassified work .
Work Authorization: U.S. citizenship required
Clearance: An active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph is strongly preferred. Candidates without an active clearance may be considered for unclassified work but must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
Salary Range: $145,000–$250,000 USD, dependent on experience level and location
We're looking for a Program Manager to run an AI/ML platform program supporting national security missions. This is a role for someone who has done milestone-based work before and understands that on a fixed-price program, the schedule is the budget.
You own execution end to end: cost, schedule, performance, milestone acceptance, contract deliverables, subcontractor performance, and risk and change management. You track Government dependencies and chase them down before they turn into slips. And you hold the day-to-day relationship with the Government program office — you're who they call, and you're who comes back with the answer.
Our program teams are intentionally small and senior. There's no layer between you and the work, which means the things that actually keep complex programs moving — surfacing dependencies early, documenting decisions when they're made, escalating risk before it's a problem — are yours to do, not to hand off.
This position is contingent upon contract award. Travel of up to 25% may be required, primarily to Government facilities and between company locations. Classified work and certain Government engagements require an appropriate clearance and onsite presence in an accredited facility.
