POSTED ON 3/18/2025

Task Force Talent is seeking a Network Engineer with an active TS/SCI FSP security clearance to support a unique government contract. Target salary range is $145k - $180k, depending on experience level. Our client for this role is a small company with both commercial and government sector customers. They work on very interesting, usually highly technical roles in cybersecurity, software development, data science, and related areas for well-known companies and government organizations. They have a high bar; however, they also have top compensation, benefits, and a strong company culture not found at larger firms. This is rewarding work that cannot be done elsewhere.

This position is full-time, in-office, usually in a SCIF.
