The posting

A day in the life Your day might start at an ALG site, keying Type-1 cryptographic devices or troubleshooting an encryptor that won't pass traffic. By midday you could be on a call with Leo engineers reviewing the red/black network design for a new deployment. Then you might meet with Program Security to review a proposed program's COMSEC requirements. In the afternoon you might reconcile the account after a material transfer, update a site's Emergency Action Plan, or help a local element custodian get ready for an inventory. Some days you'll work with government sponsors and vendors on policy questions. Other days you'll travel between ALG sites for training, inventories and hands-on support. You'll keep the account fully compliant and solve the technical problems that help the program grow.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
