Trump administration recruiting a “US Tech Force” for 2-year stints in government
Months after the dismantling of DOGE and shedding hundreds of thousands of federal workers, the Trump administration is looking to Big Tech for some expert help to “solve the federal government’s most critical technological challenges.”
The “US Tech Force” is a program to recruit workers from some of the largest tech companies in the country. The deal: for two years, participating companies will supply qualifying workers to do a stint as a federal employee, working on AI, cybersecurity, and data analytics.
The federal government isn’t exactly known for paying the kinds of huge salaries that tech workers are used to, but the program will offer participants salaries between $150,000 and $200,000.
A long list of companies are listed as participants in the project, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, and Meta.
The website says that the Tech Force will be nonpartisan and “focused exclusively on improving government technology capabilities.”
