Eligibility Audit

Six federal listings in the original report were removed because their USAJOBS hiring paths did not include public or vet. This includes the Department of State Supervisory Program Manager and Treasury/IRS Program Manager, which were internal/transition-only announcements.

The durable pipeline guard now rejects absent, empty, malformed, unrecognized, and internal-only hiring paths. Mixed-path announcements remain eligible when either public or vet is present.

Still Active (Non-federal)

Search Notes

  • Discovery sources: Jooble + USAJOBS
  • Publication rule: Jooble discoveries require a live employer ATS match. USAJOBS discoveries require a qualifying API hiring path (public or vet).
  • Location: Stillwater / Lake Elmo, MN 55082 (50-mile radius) + nationwide remote
  • Salary Floor: $120K absolute | Target: $140K–$220K+
  • Data Store: NocoDB (noco.gitchegumi.com)
  • Do not apply until October 2026 unless unusually strategic

Data Note

This artifact corrects the recommendations shown for August 1. The earlier NocoDB run recorded seven new roles before the eligibility defect was identified; those historical sync counts are not represented as valid recommendations here.

Corrected after USAJOBS hiring-path eligibility audit.
