CAREERS AT SAYARI
We founded twice. Now we’re hiring the people who build what’s next.
Sayari doesn’t just sell AI transformation — we live it. Every function inside the company runs on AI-native operating systems we built ourselves. If you want to work somewhere that treats its own operations as the proving ground for the product it ships to clients, this is the job.

HOW WE WORK
Our Impact Behaviors
Not aspirations. Descriptions. These are the impact behaviors that differentiate the people who succeed here.
Unwavering Talent Bar
Setting and reinforcing a consistently high bar for quality, accuracy, and clarity in your own work and across your team. At Sayari, surface-level solutions create the false negatives clients can’t afford — depth is the default, not the exception. You own your development, seek feedback proactively, and take full responsibility for outcomes.
Establishing Credibility
Showing up fully prepared with deep domain knowledge, grounding decisions in data and evidence rather than conviction or seniority — the person with the best evidence wins the argument, regardless of title. You surface risks early with recommended solutions, and build trust with clients and colleagues through consistent follow-through, honesty when uncertain, and transparency about what your work can and can’t do.
Multiplier Mindset
Designing work and systems to make others more effective — through documentation, automation, and knowledge sharing — rather than creating bottlenecks or solving problems by adding manual effort.
Decisive Execution & Impact
Acting with urgency and judgment to drive complete outcomes (not just activity), ruthlessly prioritizing the highest-impact work, and escalating blockers quickly with context and proposed solutions.
Relentless Focus
Knowing who uses your work and why it matters — enforcement teams building cases, compliance officers protecting institutions, analysts tracing networks — and ensuring every action connects back to that mission. You continuously cut low-value work, challenge assumptions, and stay aligned to company priorities even as conditions shift.
Empowered Accountability
Taking full ownership of your domain: engineers own systems, PMs own outcomes, data scientists own the accuracy of the world model. Real ownership means real accountability. You say what you mean, deliver feedback early and specifically, document clearly, engage cross-functional partners proactively, and avoid surprises — the problems are too complex and the margin for error too small for anything less.
Intentional Adaptability & Curiosity
Embracing change and pivoting quickly when priorities shift, staying curious about adjacent functions, and leveraging creativity and resources rather than defaulting to more headcount or effort.
FOUNDED TWICE
We don’t just sell AI transformation. We live it.
The only companies that will dominate the next decade are those willing to radically rethink how they operate. Most companies bolt AI onto legacy processes and call it transformation. We tore ours down and rebuilt them as AI-native infrastructure.
THE CONVICTION
If you’re going to sell judgment infrastructure, you have to be the first customer.
We build AI-native operating systems — what we call xOS — for every function inside Sayari. Not chatbots or copilots, but infrastructure: automated loops that run on a schedule, monitor signals, produce outputs, and route them to the right people without anyone asking. An orchestra without a conductor can play the notes correctly but still produce incoherent music. The xOS framework is our conductor.
xOS ARCHITECTURE — FOUR LAYERS, EVERY FUNCTION
01
Intelligence
Automated signal monitoring against campaign intent, regulatory changes, and competitive moves
02
Production
Decision trees that score, draft, and assemble outputs against evaluation rubrics — not prompts
03
Distribution
Outputs routed to the right people, right channel, right time — without anyone asking
04
Accountability
RAG-scored dashboards that give operators real-time awareness, not retrospective reports
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
MarketingOS
Intelligence briefs generated daily. Campaign packages assembled automatically. Performance dashboards scored in real time. Marketing runs as infrastructure, not as a request queue.
SalesOS
Deal scoring against proprietary evaluation rubrics. Competitive intelligence surfaced before discovery calls. LinkedIn content generated weekly by ICP segment. Reps sell — the system does the rest.
ProductOS
Agents that do recurring product work, surface the right signals, and ensure the right people have the right context at the right time. Competitive intelligence generated daily. Feature requests scored by strategic weight. Roadmap decks and leadership dashboards assembled automatically.
EngineeringOS
Agents that continuously monitor platform health, produce engineering artifacts, and surface the right signals to the right engineer. CI/CD health scored by impact. Sprint digests and blocker alerts routed automatically. DORA metrics computed — no engineer assembles these manually.
WHAT YOU’D BE WORKING ON
The product. The platform. And the way we run the company.
Sayari’s core technical challenge is entity resolution at scale across heterogeneous, adversarial data. Corporate names in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, and Persian need to resolve to the same entity. Ownership chains through BVI, Cayman, UAE need to connect in a single traversal.
On top of the product, we’re building the internal xOS systems that run every function at Sayari — the same judgment infrastructure we sell, turned inward. When you join, you don’t just ship features. You help design the way a company operates when nothing is sacrosanct and every process is a candidate for reinvention.
The AI layer is genuinely new territory: purpose-built AI for risk intelligence that produces verifiable, source-cited reasoning rather than black-box confidence scores. The goal is AI that an enforcement officer can put in front of a judge — and AI that runs our own operations with the same rigor.
WHAT YOU’D SHIP IN YOUR FIRST YEAR
Agentic AI systems
Purpose-built AI agents that produce verifiable, source-cited reasoning — not black-box scores. Output that stands up in enforcement proceedings.
Knowledge graph at global scale
Entity resolution across 500M+ companies in 250+ jurisdictions. Ownership traversal through adversarial corporate structures in sub-second response times.
Internal xOS infrastructure
AI operating systems that run marketing, sales, CS, and finance. Automated loops, decision trees, and RAG-scored dashboards — on the same stack we sell.
Products used by the most demanding orgs on earth
Investigative tools for intelligence analysts. Screening at thousands of entities per second. Interfaces where the user is a federal agent or a Fortune 50 CCO.
GLOBAL WORKFORCE
One team. Global reach.
The threats we track don’t respect borders — and neither does the team that traces them. Sayari operates across continents and time zones, with regional expertise that makes the world model smarter and our products sharper.

TIME ZONE COVERAGE
Built for global. Backed for scale.
The data we analyze spans every jurisdiction where commerce flows and risk hides. Building that capability requires a team with lived experience across the jurisdictions, languages, and regulatory systems our clients operate in. Regional compensation, locally compliant benefits, and flexible working arrangements are standard — not exceptions.
