Job Description

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a premier federal law enforcement agency responsible for protecting the United States from a wide array of national security threats and criminal activities. As part of the Department of Justice, the FBI operates on the frontline of safeguarding the country against terrorism, cybercrime, espionage, organized crime, and other complex threats. Employing a workforce of highly skilled professionals who bring diverse expertise, the FBI emphasizes innovation, integrity, and dedication to public service. It offers a challenging yet rewarding career for individuals seeking to have a meaningful impact on national security and public safety.

The FBI is currently seeking Special Agents with advanced expertise in data engineering, big data, data science, or related technological domains to join its ranks. This role offers a unique opportunity to leverage your background in data science, cloud infrastructure, or Internet of Things (IoT) systems within a federal law enforcement context to help protect the nation. As an FBI Special Agent specialized in data engineering, you will be at the forefront of investigations designed to counter cyberattacks, fraud, terrorism, and dynamically evolving security threats.

In this role, you will utilize your skills in advanced statistical modeling, data governance, and predictive analytics to identify and combat threats before they can harm public safety. The position demands creativity and resourcefulness, as you will constantly adapt your technical knowledge to solve complex problems in high-stakes environments. Your insights will directly assist in shaping the FBI’s strategy to thwart criminal activity, leveraging the latest technologies in big data and cloud computing. Transitioning from a specialized technical career to a Special Agent role, you will also be trained in federal law enforcement techniques to build physical readiness and investigative proficiency.

This is a full-time position with a salary range of $99,461 to $128,329 per year, commensurate with experience, base pay, locality adjustments, and availability pay. The job offers extensive professional development, access to cutting-edge resources, and the opportunity to work alongside some of the brightest minds in national security. The FBI provides a supportive and inclusive environment, along with a comprehensive benefits package designed with agent wellbeing and career longevity in mind.

If you have a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. accredited institution and are committed to serving your country while applying your technical expertise in a transformative law enforcement role, the FBI invites you to apply. The selection process includes eligibility screening and requires the ability to obtain Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance. Candidates must be U.S. citizens, physically fit, willing to travel, and meet strict eligibility standards. Become part of an elite force that values dedication, technical excellence, and duty to protect the public.

Join the FBI and help defend the nation through innovation, intelligence-driven investigations, and exceptional law enforcement service. Apply today to embark on a career that challenges your abilities, rewards your dedication, and empowers you to make a lasting impact on national security and public safety.
