To join my project you will need a US Secret security clearance and a Security+ certification. I suspect teams working other projects have similar minimum requirements because this is a very small federal contractor. If that is not an issue email me (in profile).

The greatest realization I had about hiring during my recent many months of unemployment was to abandon perceptions of trends and marketplace popularity and instead focus on my strengths no matter how unpopular. So, I gave up on looking at JavaScript related positions even though I have 15 years full time experience writing JavaScript. Instead I strongly promoted my experience as a military officer who can program in niche projects. I went from 0 interviews to multiple competing offers. I turned down a much higher paying offer a super prestigious place to take this job because it’s something completely new for me, work from home, and almost what I was making at my last job.

Also if you know anybody that is a Java developer with a TS and willing to relocate to Dallas I can get them a job at that other place immediately at around 200K
