We started with one of the most complex customers on earth, the U.S. government. Its programs span thousands of people, multiple organizations, billion-dollar budgets, and differentiated security environments. And somehow, too much of that work still runs on stale schedules, spreadsheets, hand-built slides, and project management software stuck in the Tetris era.\nWe’re changing that. Based in Seattle, Integrate has secured a $25 million U.S. Space Force contract and expanded across government and commercial programs, raised a $17 million Series A led by FPV Ventures, secured backing from J.P. Morgan, and built software that operates across government and commercial environments, from unclassified work to Top Secret networks.\nWe move fast, keep the egos low, and make room for quirks, strong opinions, fun, and the occasional chaos of building things from scratch with extreme velocity. We offer strong benefits, real ownership, and ambitious work with people you actually want to be around.\nOur Solution\nIntegrate gives complex programs something they have never had before. One real-time schedule that can operate across organizations, security boundaries, and classification levels without fragmenting the schedule.\nThe program stays live as it changes. Teams can see how the program has moved, understand how a change ripples downstream, surface risk before it compounds, and control access down to the individual element. And our AI architecture works from that same continuously updated program state. It understands what is happening now, not a report assembled days or weeks ago. The schedule stops being a static plan and becomes a living reflection of the program itself.\nWe’re nowhere near done. We want to set a new standard for how the world’s most complex work gets done, and we won’t stop until we do.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring a Government Affairs Analyst to build Integrate’s presence on Capitol Hill and across the executive branch. You’ll join our Washington, DC team and work directly with our Managing Director of Washington Operations.\nA lot of people have already done the hard work of making it easier for the government to buy commercial software. That momentum is a tailwind for us. Your job is to keep it going: know what’s moving in policy, legislation, and appropriations, understand how it affects Integrate’s ability to do business, and when something needs to change, for Integrate or for our whole sector, build the plan to change it.\nThat could mean shaping policy that makes modern program management a requirement, or finding an appropriation awarded to one of our customers that can fund the software their program needs. You’ll work alongside our outside consultants and industry associations, and you’ll be the person who makes sure the members, staff, and officials whose decisions affect our customers know who Integrate is.\nThis isn’t a monitoring job. If you spot the opportunity, you own the plan.\nWhat You’ll Work On\nTrack legislation, appropriations, and executive branch policy across defense, intelligence, space, and emerging tech, and turn what matters into clear, actionable insight for leadership\n\nIdentify the policy and funding levers that affect Integrate’s ability to win business, then build and run plans to influence members of Congress, committee and personal staff, and executive branch officials\n\nFollow the NDAA and defense appropriations cycles end to end, from budget request to report language to final bill, looking for opportunities that support our customers’ programs\n\nBuild and maintain relationships with Hill staff, agency officials, and industry partners so Integrate has a known, trusted presence in DC\n\nRepresent Integrate in industry associations and coalitions working on defense acquisition reform and commercial software adoption\n\nCoordinate with and help manage our outside government affairs consultants and lobbyists\n\nDraft briefing memos, one-pagers, policy positions, and meeting materials for leadership and external audiences\n\nPartner with our capture and business development team so policy work connects directly to pipeline\n\nPolicy Focus Areas\nDefense acquisition and commercial software adoption, the NDAA, defense and intelligence appropriations, intelligence authorization, space policy, and AI and emerging technology. The work also touches federal cybersecurity and export control requirements.\nExperience\nWe don’t expect you to check every box, but here’s the kind of background that sets you up to succeed:\n2-5+ years in government affairs, government relations, public policy, or a related federal role. Past titles like Policy Analyst, Government Affairs Analyst, Government Relations Coordinator, or Legislative Assistant fit well\n\nWorking knowledge of the legislative process and the federal budget cycle; hands-on NDAA or defense appropriations experience is a strong plus\n\nExperience on the Hill, in an executive branch agency, at a trade association, or in a corporate or firm-side government affairs shop\n\nExisting relationships with defense, intelligence, or aerospace staff and officials\n\nStrong research and writing skills. You can turn a 1,000-page bill into a one-page brief someone will actually read\n\nBachelor’s degree in public policy, political science, international relations, economics, or a similar field; an advanced degree is a plus\n\nDefense, intelligence, or aerospace policy background is strongly preferred. If you’ve run the same playbook in an adjacent sector like energy and want to bring it to national security, we want to hear from you\n\nWho You Are\nYou don’t wait to be told which bill to read. You work well with autonomy, set your own priorities, and reprioritize fast when a markup schedule or the news cycle changes.\nYou care about national security and you’re excited to work with defense and intelligence customers. You’re comfortable in a room with a senior staffer or a program executive, you communicate clearly and briefly, and you always follow up.\nYou want to grow fast. At a startup, you’ll take on more than your title says, and we’ll invest in you as you do. Everyone here is leveling up together.\nWhy Join Us\nJoin us at the forefront of deep tech, building the software that powers the next generation of hardware innovation. We’re a tight-knit, ambitious team with a vision to transform how humans build.\nYou’ll help shape a company that works with customers building rockets, aircraft, autonomous systems, and the infrastructure of the modern world. You’ll have real ownership and a direct say in how the company grows, in ways that just aren’t possible at a larger organization. You’ll also work alongside a team of high performers who will push you to grow faster than you would anywhere else.\nITAR Requirement\nThis position requires access to information protected under US export control laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and/or the Export Administration Regulations. As such, US person status (including US citizens, U.S. permanent residents, individuals granted U.S. asylum status, or individuals admitted in U.S. refugee status) is a required qualification for this position.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nWe are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, genetics, or citizenship status (when otherwise legally authorized to work and access export-controlled data) and will not be discriminated against on the basis of such characteristics or any other status protected by the laws or regulations in the locations where we operate. We encourage applicants of all ages.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7926,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Data Governance & Catalogs","Marketing Automation","Lead Generation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T23:55:43Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-08T10:45:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.843,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/integrate-government-affairs","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/integrate-government-affairs.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T03:32:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1787,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1932963},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1932963"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fintegrate-government-affairs"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fintegrate-government-affairs"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fintegrate-government-affairs"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/integrate-government-affairs\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fintegrate-government-affairs"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3553923}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"integrate.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3553923},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
