Clearance/citizenship required?


I found this in the SRE posting:

"Who May Apply: All United States citizens and nationals (residents of American Samoa and Swains Islands) and applicants must not be GSA employees or contractors"

1. Is there a difference between applying through USAJobs vs sending your team an email? Which leads me to my second question. 2. Does your team read all resumes or just the ones that get filtered through the system (a lot of USAJobs need keywords and copy/paste of all KSAs to get through the filtering system).


1. It's a bit easier for us if you submit your resume directly to: jobs@login.gov

2. Every application is reviewed by a real human against the job qualifications, and the highest qualified applicants are shared with the hiring team for consideration.

More information on USAJOBS' process is available here: https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/faq/application/process/


Thank you for getting back to me. Glad to hear there is more to sorting resumes than a simple filter.


I have nothing to do with login.gov but as a federal manager who hires, there is definitely a difference between USAJobs and sending an email. Ultimately, all applications have to go through usajobs, but I can work with my hiring manager and a candidate to push-pull them through the system. I still have to compete the solicitation and interview qualified candidates, so if there is another more qualified candidate, the applicant may still leave the process without a job.

That said, having been through various versions of this process since 2004, it is extremely valuable to get visibility on candidates who may feel "stuck outside the system". Not only is it increasingly the case that the best candidates are precisely the ones who feel stuck outside, I can't advocate to fix the system without putting those cases in front of the HR people who are responsible for the system.

If a federal manager is giving you an email inbox for their applications, they are begging for your help. If you want a job, sending email to that inbox is helping them, and they will appreciate it.


I really appreciate the answer--thank you for your time and for trying to make the process better.

Does the pay max out at GS-15 like USDS?


Yes it does! But, it's hard to put a dollar amount on the impact and feels you get doing public service. The benefits are great and the locality pay is something to consider as well.


Huh, that kind of salary makes it kind of hard to compete...


Not by a long shot. Its better than anything but the top companies. Total salary includes locality pay, which for DC is $142K and for SF is $154K. There are also a bunch of benefits, not least of which is the federal pension. If you worked for the feds for 20 years you would draw a $30k a year pension.


That’s in addition to the default max of $140K? If so, then yes, it would actually be really good.

Because it’d suck to start out at the max and then never increase any more.

I’m not sure if I’d count a $30k/year pension good, but the fact that you can get it after 20 years is pretty cool.


It’s not in addition. DC is $142,000 total after the CoL adjustment

Is the remote position open worldwide?


Unfortunately not :(


Is it only for US citizens?


From the website:

For Competitive Service roles: All United States citizens and nationals (residents of American Samoa and Swains Islands) are eligible to apply.

For Excepted Service roles: All United States citizens and nationals (residents of American Samoa and Swains Islands) are eligible to apply, and applicants must not be current GSA employees or contractors.


Awesome product!


I agree! open source FTW!
