The posting

Who we are

Picogrid is a leading venture-backed defense technology company founded to bridge the decades-long gap between modern technology and the critical demands of national security. Today, we're building the essential infrastructure to unify sensors, autonomy, and operators with our technology deployed in active operations around the world. Our mission is to deliver an operational advantage to secure the United States and its allies.

Contract duration: 6 months, $25-32/hr

Start date: November 20, 2026

About the Role

Picogrid is seeking a detail-oriented Site Operations Associate to support security operations for a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) project. The Site Operations Associate serves as the first line of access control at the facility, ensuring that only authorized personnel enter and exit and that all movement is accurately tracked and reported. This role requires strong judgment, clear communication, and consistent adherence to security protocols.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the entry point control POC, controlling and monitoring all ingress and egress at the facility entrance.
  • Maintain continuous communication with the SCIF project point of contact and headquarters throughout each shift.
  • Maintain and update the list of authorized visitors and personnel, verifying access eligibility before entry is granted.
  • Positively identify all personnel entering and exiting the facility, and record entry and exit times in the access log.
  • Conduct identification checks and recognize violations of security protocol, documenting and reporting them according to established procedures.
  • Communicate professionally and effectively with personnel requesting access, including explaining access requirements and escorting procedures.
  • Notify supervision immediately of any breach, attempted breach, or suspicious activity at the entry point.
  • Support shift turnover by briefing incoming personnel on access activity, open issues, and any incidents.

What We're Looking For No prior security experience is required. We're looking for someone who is:

  • Highly responsible. You show up on time, take ownership of your post, and follow through on every task, even the routine ones.
  • Trustworthy. You handle sensitive information with discretion and can be relied on to do the right thing when no one is watching.
  • Diligent and detail-oriented. You check every ID carefully, keep accurate logs, and don't cut corners.
  • Calm and clear in communication. You can be polite but firm with visitors and speak up right away when something seems off.
  • Able to stay alert. You can remain focused and attentive through long or quiet shifts.

Requirements

  • U.S. Persons required
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Availability to work, with potential overtime pay

Training on access control procedures and site security protocols will be provided.

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.
