It turns out that some of the inaugural Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) positions won't be volunteer-based after all.
On its X account Monday, DOGE announced it is currently recruiting a "very small number" of full-time salaried software and info security engineers. The account also posted on Dec. 27 that it plans to hire for full-time human resources, IT and finance positions.
"If interested, please DM us a few bullet points demonstrating exceptional ability, and your cell phone number," the post reads.
For the HR, IT and finance applicants, they're asked to send the DOGE X account their resume and "why you are interested in DOGE."
The newly created Department of Government Efficiency is preparing to roll out once the Trump administration is sworn in with the stated goal of slashing government waste and providing increased transparency when it comes to government spending.
DOGE is not a Cabinet-level department but rather a blue-ribbon committee outside of the government that will be tasked with examining issues of government spending, waste, efficiency and operations.
Proponents of DOGE, headed by Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, have suggested that $2 trillion in government waste can be cut from the federal budget through the reduction of spending, eliminating government programs and trimming the federal workforce.
