Defense Tech Force Opens 1000 Federal Jobs at $200K Salary

The Trump administration just launched a groundbreaking federal hiring program to create 1,000 high-paying jobs in defense and technology. The U.S. Tech Force program will offer salaries up to $200,000 per year. This makes these positions some of the best-paid technology jobs ever offered in government.

“If you want to help your country lead in the age of rapid technological advancement, we need you,” said OPM Director Scott Kupor. Software engineers, data scientists, and AI specialists will get a chance to upgrade vital defense systems across federal departments.

New hires will work at several agencies. The Department of Defense will focus on adding cutting-edge AI capabilities to military technologies. The Internal Revenue Service, State Department, and more than twelve other federal agencies will also bring in new talent.

The program has formed partnerships with tech giants like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, and Palantir. These companies will support new hires with technical training and mentorship during their two-year commitment.

Recent federal workforce cuts haven’t stopped this targeted recruitment drive. The administration sees it as crucial to fill major gaps in America’s defense technology capabilities. This investment aims to keep America at the forefront of technology in an increasingly competitive global arena.
