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.

My friend in the federal gov found your application details very curious.
It is not government hiring so no need for listing on USAJobs
I understand that you're hiring a contractor. I suppose you want someone who is going to be able to hit the ground running? Still, I'm not sure you're maximizing EV with this requirement. You're excluding many, many skilled devs who would be highly motivated to make a difference working on your team.
Learning a new language and framework, likely very similar to one or two they already know, is not considered a major hurdle in most of the private sector. Especially at this band of compensation.
Otherwise I have solid experience with all technologies listed except InVision
> Non-U.S. citizens do not qualify for a security clearance. [1]
So it's a fairly moot point. That being said, there are plenty of positions that can disqualify you for non-citizenship for protected information. Healthcare, government contractors, etc. Your right to work in the US is protected, your right to a job is not.
You want the Full America package, you need to naturalize and renounce whichever terrorist government you swear allegiance to now.
Having the right to work in the US doesn't entitle you to a job. And there are plenty of reasons government institutions would want to disallow non-nationals a position. The whole point of citizenship is, after all, buying into the system; if you're not "in" your allegiances or potential recourse can always be argued to be limited. Dual-Citizens, such as myself, are in a similar boat for the same reasons (unless they opt to renounce foreign ties).
I don’t believe this job actually would be possible as the level of clearance requested is usually denied to dual-nationals (without renouncing, of course).
Citizenship is a pretty common requirement in information security in sensitive industries, to use the example I'm familiar with.
It says "US ONLY US Citizen," but that only excludes people who still swear allegiance to King Charles.
