The relationship between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump may have broke out publicly This week but the billionaire called Efficiency of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) He is currently in a Wired recruitment, he has learned that Wired.
DOGE seems to come specifically to technologists who have previously worked for the Government, even some of those who left as part of the administration campaign to drastically reduce the federal labor force, according to two sources who spoke with Wired on anonymity to protect their privacy. A candidate said that even though they recently left the government under the Differenty resignation program (DRP), could be eligible for a position in DOGE.
DOGE seeks to hire technological workers in development, operations, software and product for two years, according to a different recruitment than Wired.
According to sources, possible recruits are explained that the salary range remains at the highest end of the Government’s pay scale, between $ 120,000 and $ 195,000 a year. Applicants are, as Wiring above was reportedHowever, a process is used in several steps that includes a screening call, a technical home assessment and two monitoring interviews.
DOGE applicants must complete a home project where they create a tool to analyze the federal regulations of the electronic federal regulations (ECFR) regulations. For the permanent applicants of the USDS, they are asked to send their code to a private file sharing platform called Kiteworks. Applicants are asked to publicly upload their code to Github.
An email to the candidates seen by Wired Notes that successful applicants can end up working on projects such as “taking advantage of AI to improve medical services for veterans”, “streamline federal aid applications from North -Americans who experience natural disasters” and “improve free aid for federal students (FAFSA). (FAFSA) (FAFSA).Wiring above spoke to a DOGE applicant who reported similar information.)
The executive order Trump signed that DOGE created the group within what was formerly called the Digital Service of the United States, a small organization of technological talent of the Obama era where workers have been in the government for two or three years before returning to the private sector. The executive order was renamed the USDS The US DOGE Service and also established a “Temporary Doob Organization”. Currently, both bodies hire, according to sources, Wired.
The US DOGE and DOGE service “are basically the same now,” a source tells Wired.
Ever since Trump went to the post and the small team of technologists of the USDS has become the staging field of the digital coup directed by Musk, the USDs have lost the vast majority of their staff and has struggled to bring a new talent, Wiring above was reported.
Meanwhile, many members of the original Doge Strikeforce, which included young and uninfect engineers which accessed some of the most sensitive data to government agencies, are now converted in full -time government employees within federal agencies. Last week, Luke Farritor and Edward Coristine, who have gone through “big dances” online and previously worked a telecommunications company Known for hiring old Blackhat computer science, they were brought full -time to the General Services Administration (GSA).
Sources also say in Wired that Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer and one of the main members of Dooge who led the GSA’s operations to the GSA, is studying to renew the Fellows’ Presidential Program, which brings technologists to government and places them within different agencies to improve government services. The program has not been able to bring a new talent this year due to the government throughout the government Contracting of freezing. SHEDD is the director of GSA (TTS) transformation technology and services, a substance that provides technical experience to government agencies.
“Thomas Shedd and his heads created a problem in collapsing and undoing their whole technological talent, and now have these projects that they want to pursue to implement new capabilities and this requires technological talent,” says a GSA technology worker.
