Cleared AI/ML · Government Contracting · Nothing else

Cleared AI/ML talent.
GovCon missions. One match.

Every role on ClearedMatch is AI/ML or Data Science, requires a Secret clearance or higher, and sits inside the US Government Contracting arena. Not a general job board. Not a resume pile. The single scarcest intersection in American hiring — and the only one we serve.

SECRET TOP SECRET TS/SCI TS/SCI + POLY

Minimum bar for every role on the platform: active or reinstatable Secret.

Why a niche this narrow

Because the intersection is the whole game.

2 gates
Clearance × ML skill

A clearance takes months to years to grant. Real ML depth takes years to build. Almost nobody holds both — and every AI line item in a government contract needs someone who does. General boards drown that person in noise. We only serve the intersection.

US-only
Citizens, by law

Cleared work is restricted to US persons and adjudicated by DCSA. The global talent-arbitrage playbook — offshore, remote-anywhere, visa pipelines — is structurally off the table. Supply is fixed. Matching is everything.

Signals
Not resume piles

We screen on the signals that actually predict fit in this arena: clearance status and recency, cleared-employer history, stack alignment with the program, and mission domain — then we hand you a shortlist, not a search problem.
