Join the Talent Network — Free How it worksThe market for cleared artificial-intelligence and machine-learning talent is one of the tightest in the country. Federal missions increasingly depend on ML, computer vision, and large-language-model capabilities — but the people who can do that work and hold an active clearance are rare, and the best of them are almost never on public job boards. Most cleared AI/ML moves happen through trusted referral, not applications.
ClearedMatch closes that gap. Instead of shouting into a resume pile, you register once, tell us your clearance level and specialty, and we match you to roles that fit — quietly, and without your current employer ever seeing your profile.
Model training, deployment, MLOps for federal missions.
Analytics, modeling, and decision support in cleared environments.
Applied research in NLP, LLMs, and computer vision.
Pipelines, infrastructure, and model lifecycle at scale.
Imagery, sensor, and geospatial ML for defense and intel.
Language models and knowledge systems for government use.
ClearedMatch works with professionals who hold an active Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI clearance — including those with a current CI or full-scope polygraph. If your clearance is active or in a reinstatement-eligible window, you belong in the network.
The DC–Maryland–Virginia (DMV) corridor concentrates most cleared AI/ML work because of its proximity to federal agencies and defense primes — Northern Virginia, the Maryland I-270 tech corridor, and the District itself. That said, remote and hybrid cleared roles are growing quickly, and we match nationwide. Tell us your location and relocation preference when you register.
