Manager, Technology Equipment Interference (TEI)

United States - Herndon, VA / Washington, D.C. area (Hybrid)

As a leader in Lawful and Location Intelligence, SS8 helps make societies safer. Our commitment is to extract, analyze, and visualize the critical intelligence that gives law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and emergency services the real-time insights that help save lives. Our high performance, flexible, and future-proof solutions also enable mobile network operators to achieve regulatory compliance with minimum disruption, time, and cost.

SS8 is trusted by the largest government agencies, communications providers, and systems integrators globally.

We are seeking a Manager, Technology Equipment Interference (TEI) to lead a specialized technical team that evaluates, develops, integrates, and operationalizes technologies enabling authorized interaction with target technology environments and equipment, in support of government intelligence, investigative, and public-safety missions. This role sits within SS8's broader Tactical Intelligence capability and works closely with Mediation, Location, Monitoring, Data Intelligence, and AI teams to deliver an integrated intelligence ecosystem rather than isolated technology products.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical knowledge, operational understanding, leadership capability, and customer engagement skills — someone technically curious, mission-focused, and entrepreneurial enough to build a new capability area and move it from concept to operational solution, while operating with the judgment and discretion sensitive intelligence technologies demand.

• Build, lead, mentor, and develop a highly specialized multidisciplinary TEI technical team; establish technical priorities, roadmap, and performance objectives.
• Create an environment that encourages innovation, technical excellence, and disciplined execution, working closely with engineering, product, tactical solutions, and customer-facing teams — success here means standing up a world-class TEI team.

• Lead evaluation and development of technologies supporting authorized TEI and related tactical intelligence capabilities.
• Define technical architectures and integration requirements, overseeing prototyping, testing, and transition into supported solutions.
• Ensure TEI capabilities integrate effectively with SS8's broader intelligence platform.

• Connect TEI capabilities across the SS8 portfolio:
  Mediation (lawful acquisition/delivery of communications and network data), Location (identifying and locating relevant devices/targets), Monitoring (authorized collection capabilities), and Data Intelligence & AI (correlation, analysis, and AI-driven prioritization).
• Deliver an integrated intelligence ecosystem — measured by successful integration of TEI into SS8's broader Tactical and Intelligence portfolio and identification of strategic technology partners.

• Engage directly with authorized government, intelligence, law-enforcement, and public-safety customers to understand operational requirements.
• Translate mission requirements into technical and product requirements; participate in demonstrations, workshops, and trials.
• Serve as a trusted technical SME supporting business-development and sales teams on complex engagements — listening carefully to operational users and translating their challenges into requirements.
• Identify technology companies, specialist vendors, and strategic partners that could extend SS8's TEI capabilities.
• Evaluate potential technologies and lead technical due diligence for partnerships, licensing, investments, or acquisitions.
• Develop integration strategies…
