Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week.

## The job description from Sardine

Posted by Sardine on Oct 29, 2026

### Who we are

Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. Our integrated solution unifies data across risk teams to help organizations stop fraud in real time, prevent AI-driven attacks, and automate fraud and AML operations. Sardine’s platform is strengthened by one of the fastest-growing fraud consortiums in the market, spanning more than 6 billion profiled devices, 800 million consumers, and 3 million businesses worldwide. Leading companies including FIS, GoDaddy, Intuit, Edward Jones, ZoomInfo, and Checkout.com rely on Sardine to secure and grow trust in their products.

### Our culture

- We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.
- We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
- We're a remote-first team spread across time zones, so no office to report to - work from wherever helps you do your best work. Just a couple of things to keep in mind: pay is based on where you're located, and you'll need to keep a home base in the country you're hired in. So while we love the "coffee shop today, mountains tomorrow" life, this isn't a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote - think flexible *within* your country, not borderless.

### Location

- Remote - United States or Canada

### About the Role

As a member of the Integration Team, you'll manage end-to-end integrations with U.S. federal government agencies and the system integrators who serve them. You'll translate complex technical and compliance requirements into solutions, and ensure smooth, successful deployments within federal security and procurement frameworks. This is a hands-on role working closely with agency clients, SI partners, and internal teams — ideal for someone who thrives in highly regulated environments and can navigate both the technical and bureaucratic dimensions of federal technology delivery.

### What You'll Be Doing

- Lead implementation and integration efforts for fraud and compliance products within federal agency environments, including navigating agency IT approval processes and ATO requirements
- Work closely with federal clients and SI partners to provide end-to-end support during onboarding, accounting for the extended timelines and multi-stakeholder processes typical of government deployments
- Own APIs, SDK documentation, integration guides, and support documents — including versions scoped for FedRAMP-authorized or FedRAMP-in-process environments
- Analyze clients' requirements from technical, functional, and compliance perspectives; design solutions with a deep understanding of Sardine's capabilities and federal security constraints (NIST 800-53, FISMA, IL4/IL5)
- Manage implementation projects, including monitoring quality, managing timelines across long federal procurement and delivery cycles, mitigating risk, and driving deliverables to completion
- Build a deep understanding of agency business problems, technical requirements, compliance obligations, and success criteria to deliver solutions using Sardine's technology
- Serve as the primary integration interface with system integrators (SIs) and others who act as the delivery layer between Sardine and end agencies
- Support Sardine's FedRAMP authorization efforts by contributing to SSP documentation, control evidence, and integration-layer security requirements
- Provide product and compliance feedback to internal stakeholders as the eyes and ears on the ground within the federal market

### What You'll Need

- 7+ years of hands-on experience as an implementation manager, integrations engineer, technical account manager, solution architect, or systems analyst, working across multiple technical teams both internal and external
- 3+ years of B2B SaaS experience in a relevant domain (payments, fraud, risk, identity, or compliance)
- Experience delivering integrations within federal government environments, including working through or alongside a system integrator
- Familiarity with FedRAMP authorization processes (Moderate or High baseline preferred), including how FedRAMP impacts integration architecture, data handling, and third-party vendor requirements
- Working knowledge of NIST 800-53, FISMA, and federal security review processes (ATO/IATO)
- Understanding of federal contract vehicles and procurement mechanisms (e.g., GSA MAS, SEWP, OTAs, BPAs) and how they affect project scoping and delivery timelines
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical and compliance concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences — including contracting officers, ISSOs, and program managers
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across long, complex delivery cycles
- Advanced experience with SQL querying and JSON payload analysis
- Experience with API specs like OpenAPI, web development, and writing scripts to build internal tools (e.g., bash scripting, Python, SQL, Ruby, Golang, Postman)

### Requirements

- Must be a U.S. citizen and reside in the U.S.
- Only candidates with the ability and willingness to obtain a government clearance will be considered.

### Nice to Have

- Previous government clearance (Secret and above)
- Prior employment at or long-term embedded work within a federal SI (Leidos, SAIC, Booz Allen, Accenture Federal, Deloitte, CACI, Peraton, etc.)
- Experience supporting a vendor through FedRAMP authorization from the integration or technical side
- Familiarity with federal identity and fraud use cases (benefits integrity, improper payments, identity proofing for government services)

### Benefits we offer

- Generous compensation in cash and equity
- Early exercise for all options, including pre-vested
- Work from anywhere: Remote-first Culture
- Flexible paid time off and Year-end break
- Health insurance, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents - *US and Canada specific*
- 4% matching in 401k / RRSP - *US and Canada specific*
- MacBook Pro delivered to your door
- One-time stipend to set up a home office — desk, chair, screen, etc.
- Monthly meal stipend
- Monthly social meet-up stipend
- Annual health and wellness stipend
- Annual Learning stipend
