US Citizenship and Immigration Services (Contractor) | Full Stack Engineers | $100k - 180k, benefits | Full-Time | Remote | US ONLY US Citizenship and the ability to pass a government clearance (Public Trust) IS REQUIRED

We're a team in the US Government responsible for digitizing and enhancing all aspects of the workflows used to adjudicate refugees and asylees. We're an unusual government team in that we build iteratively without using a list of requirements. Our Product Managers use the Lean Agile methodology—their goal is to make small incremental changes quickly. Our Product Designers use Human Centered Design—they build interfaces and workflows based on direct input from users. Our developers use Extreme Programming—they practice pair programming and use test-driven development.

Many folks have been drawn to join our team out of a desire to work on something vividly mission-driven for a chapter of their career.

Our developers work with M1 MacBook Pros, Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript. Our designers use Sketch, Figma, and InVision. Our PMs use Jira, Miro, InVision and the Microsoft Suite. Structurally, our teams are given an atypically high degree of autonomy for the federal space.

Suitable candidates will be forwarded to our government contracting partners who will interview, hire, and place on our team.

We're hiring for:

Full-stack Engineers (Rails experience is required)

Salary range (100k-165k)

If you're interested in joining the team, email global-hiring@uscis.dhs.gov with your resume.

How do you get around not having to list on USAJobs?

My friend in the federal gov found your application details very curious.

It is not government hiring so no need for listing on USAJobs

If it's not government hiring how is it legal to require citizenship?

I read it as they're not requiring citizenship, they're requiring clearance, which requires citizenship.

It wouldn't matter if they were requiring citizenship. The protected category is national origin. Companies can't normally require native-born citizenship but any company can refuse to hire non-citizens.

Citizenship is a pretty common requirement in information security in sensitive industries, to use the example I'm familiar with.

Yeah, that makes sense. Who would deny a naturalized American all the rights and privileges? I don't know what people are getting upset about; I don't see anything that says "requires a native-born US citizen."

It says "US ONLY US Citizen," but that only excludes people who still swear allegiance to King Charles.
