OPM Announces New Cybersecurity Role for US Tech Force 

WASHINGTON, DC — The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) today announced the opening of applications for a new Information Cybersecurity Specialist role through the US Tech Force (Tech Force), expanding efforts to recruit top cybersecurity talent to strengthen federal systems and infrastructure.

The new role will focus on protecting critical systems, strengthening federal cybersecurity capabilities, and safeguarding the digital infrastructure relied on by millions of Americans. Like previous Tech Force positions, this role will support high-impact, mission-critical technology work across federal agencies.

“The federal government depends on strong cybersecurity to protect critical systems and maintain public trust,” OPM Director Scott Kupor said. “Through Tech Force, we’re recruiting highly skilled cybersecurity professionals to take on real challenges and strengthen the government’s defenses where it matters most.”

As part of this initiative to bolster the federal cybersecurity workforce, OPM is coordinating with agencies across government to recruit a broad range of talented cybersecurity professionals, including individuals participating in programs such as the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service.

The Cybersecurity Specialist position is in addition to the existing software engineering, data scientist, and product manager roles that Tech Force has released previously. Tech Force was created to bring elite technical talent into government service to solve meaningful problems at scale and help modernize federal technology capabilities.
