Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or owe allegiance to the U.S. Because the agency uses direct-hire authority, traditional veterans' preference rules do not apply, though qualified veterans get full consideration.

What you would do

  • Directs and manages assigned platform systems analysts and specialists.
  • Supervises staff, including team leaders, and tracks performance measures.
  • Directs technical teams in daily operation and maintenance of systems and infrastructure.
  • Supports daily management of server hardware and operating systems, including Hyper-V and Linux.
  • Makes major recommendations that affect the organization and its projects.
  • Handles enterprise infrastructure assignments of a special or critical nature.

Do you qualify for GS-13?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the GS-12 level, such as supervising or leading technical work on Enterprise or VA facility Linux platforms, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux or AWS and Azure Linux systems. You must also show IT-related experience in four competencies at the next lower grade level: attention to detail, customer service, oral communication, and problem solving.

With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less, showing job title, duties, start and end months and years, and hours per week
  • Application questionnaire answers
  • Performance appraisal, agency notice, and SF-50 only if applying under CTAP or ICTAP
  • Separation notice (RIF), if applicable

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications, using your resume, questionnaire answers, and assessments. A USA Hire online test measures accountability, customer service, decisiveness, flexibility, interpersonal skills, problem solving, and resilience, and you must meet the cut score; overstating your experience or cheating can get you removed.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must show each job's title, duties, start and end months and years, and hours per week, and must fit on two pages.
  • Clearly show your Linux or cloud supervision experience and the four basic competencies, since the agency will not make assumptions.
  • Complete the USA Hire assessment and submit all documents before 11:59 PM ET on the closing date, because you cannot edit your application after submitting.
