Dear SWEethearts,

I hope you are having a sweet winter break! There is a fantastic opportunity to with Leidos and I encourage those who are interested to apply ASAP! Please read below for more...

One of our established programs is offering a unique opportunity to obtain a high-level security clearance. Considering your interest and presumed background, I want to share this with you since you are likely a strong match to our technical needs. One of our long-standing programs in Northern VA has ongoing opportunities for developers, data scientists, systems engineers, and cloud/AWS engineers. This gives us a very rare chance to sponsor new candidates for clearances that I am hoping is of interest to you. This clearance level will open you up to opportunities that would not otherwise be open to those with a lower level clearance and provides an amazing chance to be involved with exciting missions for our intelligence community.

To offer some background, Leidos is an applied solutions company focused on markets that are seeing converging business and technological trends, and address basic, enduring human needs:  defense and national security, health and life sciences, and energy, engineering and infrastructure. The Company's approximately 30,000 employees serve customers in the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, other U.S. Government civil agencies and commercial health and engineering markets.

If this sounds like something that is of interest, please feel free to share this opportunity within your organization. For anyone who is interested, please have them respond to me with a soft copy of his/her resume and answers to the following questions:

Best Contact (phone number or email):

What times are best for you to talk?

Do you hold a current/active clearance? If so, what level?

Are you willing and able to go through the clearance process?

We are projecting a start date within 12-18 months, depending on the clearance process. Are you able to commit to this process and projected start date from December 2017– June 2018?

Do you have a target compensation level in mind?

Thank You,
