Every job Elon Musk is hiring for in DOGE ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration

It's got some pretty high requirements

Are you looking for your next opportunity?

You may not have to look further as Elon Musk’s DOGE is hiring.

Co-headed by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, DOGE is looking to fill 'a very small number' of full-time, salaried positions.

DOGE was created by US President-elect Donald Trump in November last year and whilst it isn't a federal agency, it does have an initiative tasked with finding ways to slash billions in federal spending.

The group said that it had received thousands of applications from job-seekers in November.

Since its launch, it has drawn a lot of interest with thousands of applications already submitted.

However, Musk and Ramaswamy have made it clear they’re only reviewing the top 1% of candidates. Those willing to apply must be 'super high-IQ' individuals willing to work more than 80 hours on what they call 'unglamorous cost-cutting.'

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, DOGE might be worth a shot.

In late December, DOGE issued a new call for applicants with human resource, information technology and finance backgrounds.

On Tuesday, the department announced it was adding new roles to its hiring list.

"Recruiting for a very small number of full-time salaried Software Engineers and InfoSec [Information Security] Engineers," the department said.

The organisation hasn’t been specific as to what qualifications they’re looking for, but interested candidates can apply by sending a message on X (formerly Twitter).

All they need to do is write a direct message to DOGE with a 'few bullet points demonstrating exceptional ability, and your cell phone number.'

It's also worth noting that DOGE hasn’t disclosed salary ranges or clarified how these positions will be funded - whether taxpayer money or through private funding.

DOGE has also not provided any details on the hiring process or workers' salaries.

Here is a full list of roles DOGE has said it's hiring for:

Super high-IQ 'small-government revolutionaries' to work on 'unglamorous cost-cutting'

Full-time, salaried software engineers

Human resource professionals

Information technology professionals

Finance professionals

DOGE has targeted organisations like Planned Parenthood, claiming they receive about $300 million in federal funding each year.

It’s also called out international organisations that receive $1.5 billion in grants.

According to an opinion piece by Musk and Ramaswamy in the Wall Street Journal last year, the duo referred to themselves as 'outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees' whose aim is simply to cut costs.

Obviously, DOGE might not be everyone’s dream workplace, but if you’re up for a new challenge and meet the mark, it could be your next hit.
