So, you want to work from home? Let's be honest, remote work is not always all it's cut out to be. At G2 Ops, we offer a flexible schedule to meet the needs of our team members and customers. Due to the classification level of the projects we support as a Defense Contractor, we cannot offer fully remote opportunities at this time. You will have the opportunity to work at a military site directly with our customers (this is a good thing!). We do allow teleworking with prior approval, but supporting the DoD, you will be required to work at a government site as well. We've worked hard to create a great culture where our team gets to come to a collaborative, exciting office environment, and we want you to join the fun!

Lastly, as we are working for the DoD, we are beholden to some requirements. The ideal candidate would already possess an active DoD Secret level clearance and a CompTIA Security+ certification.

Quick Reminder, we are seeking a full-time team member; the continuation of outside employment shall not constitute a conflict with the Company's interest, including performing work for a customer or competitor.
