CACI International is one of the larger federal contractors doing IT, intelligence, and national security work for the government, and it’s consistently one of the strongest sources of genuine remote job postings we track — notably more than what’s currently available directly through federal agencies themselves.
What CACI does
CACI provides IT and technical services primarily to defense and intelligence community customers — systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, data analytics, and mission support services delivered under government contracts. Unlike working directly for a federal agency, working at CACI means you’re a private-sector employee whose work happens to support government missions.
Why CACI has more remote openings than direct federal roles right now
Federal contractors like CACI were never subject to the 2025 federal return-to-office order that sharply reduced remote work for direct federal employees — see our explainer on why remote federal jobs became rare for the full context. Contractor employment operates under normal private-sector labor law and company policy, not federal workforce policy, which is a large part of why companies like CACI currently offer meaningfully more remote opportunity than direct federal hiring does.
What roles typically show up
CACI’s remote postings tend to concentrate in IT, software engineering, data analysis, cybersecurity, business/program analysis, and various specialized technical and analytical roles supporting specific government contracts. Because CACI’s work is tied to specific contracts and customer agencies, position requirements — including security clearance requirements — vary considerably by role.
Security clearances at CACI
Given CACI’s heavy focus on defense and intelligence work, many positions require an active security clearance, and some require a clearance you already hold before you can even be considered, since clearance processing timelines are long and contract staffing needs are often immediate. If you don’t currently hold a clearance, look specifically for postings that state “will sponsor” or don’t list a clearance requirement — don’t assume you can obtain one during the hiring process unless the posting says so.
How applying differs from federal hiring
CACI’s hiring process runs like a typical private-sector process — apply through their careers site, expect a faster timeline than federal hiring (often weeks rather than months), and your resume can follow normal private-sector conventions rather than the detailed federal-resume format described in our federal resume guide. This is one of the practical advantages of pursuing contractor roles if federal hiring’s timeline is a dealbreaker for you.
