# Careers and Opportunities

DIA is committed to hiring exceptional talent          for a variety of career opportunities that span the globe to help support our mission. The majority of our          hiring is done at the entry-level through invitation-only hiring events; however, vacancies may be posted for          mid- and senior-level positions as mission dictates.

Once you are invited to interview and receive a          conditional job offer, you must be granted a security clearance before the hiring process can be finalized.          The Government considers many factors when granting security clearances, including citizenship, drug use, and          personal integrity and conduct.
