How it works

Where the roles come from

Defense, space and national security companies publish their openings through careers boards on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby, which offer public listing feeds for exactly this purpose. We read those feeds for about 110 companies every three hours, with a declared user agent and at the pace each provider asks for. We do not scrape sites that block automated access, and we never log in anywhere.

Which roles we list

Only roles whose posting asks for a US security clearance: one you must hold now, or one the employer will sponsor. A first pass looks for clearance language; then a language model reads the relevant lines of each new posting and records the level (Public Trust to TS/SCI with polygraph), whether you must already hold it, the kind of role, the seniority and whether it is remote. Postings that mention clearances only in company boilerplate are left out. Titles, descriptions and pay are shown exactly as the employer published them.

When roles close

When a role disappears from the employer's board, it comes down here at the next check, usually within three hours. Its page then says it is closed.

How the site is paid for

Members pay 19 dollars a month to see new roles the hour we find them, 3 days before everyone else, and to get alerts. Employers can pay for a featured post. Nobody pays to change where an ingested role appears, and there are no affiliate links.

Corrections and removal

If a listing is wrong or should not be here, tell us through support. Employers can have a listing removed with one message from a work email.
