U.S. Citizenship Requirement Jobs

648,750 open positions · Updated daily

U.S. Citizenship is a mandatory badge for many tech positions tied to federal contracts, defense, and critical infrastructure projects. With 1,871 openings listed, companies are actively seeking talent who can navigate security clearances, ITAR restrictions, and Department of Defense procurement processes. The demand spikes during budget cycles and when new cybersecurity initiatives roll out, making these roles highly competitive yet rewarding.

Typical roles include Software Engineer – Government Cloud building secure applications on AWS GovCloud, Cybersecurity Analyst – CJIS Compliance safeguarding criminal justice data, Data Scientist – Defense Analytics extracting insights from classified datasets, Systems Analyst – Federal IT Modernization translating business needs into secure architectures, and Compliance Officer – ITAR Enforcement ensuring export‑control adherence. Responsibilities range from writing secure code, performing penetration tests, managing data classification, to leading compliance audits and coordinating with agencies like the DoD, DHS, and NASA.

Salary transparency is crucial for professionals in these roles because pay scales often reflect the high stakes of national security work. Knowing exact compensation helps candidates weigh the demands of security checks, travel to classified sites, and the long‑term benefits of federal contracts. Transparent figures also level the playing field for employees who might otherwise be overlooked due to hidden bonus structures or variable government funding.
