The Canadian Security Intelligence Service is looking to hire upcoming and recent IT graduates in Canada.

With these CSIS jobs, you'll be working as an analyst and you could make almost $100,000 a year!

Not only are the government of Canada jobs high paying but remote work is possible as well.

If you're graduating soon or if you've graduated recently, CSIS said that you're eligible to apply for an IT Analyst position located in Ottawa.

Jobs are available in a lot of IT specialties, including:

  • IT and Cyber Security
  • IT Service Management and Support
  • IT End User Systems
  • Server, Storage, Backup and Cloud Infrastructure
  • Network Technology and Security
  • IT Application Support and System Administration
  • Application Development, Integration and Verification
  • Data Management and Analytics
  • Communication Technology
  • Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

With these high-paying jobs, the CSIS salary is from $70,042 to $85,215 or from $79,148 to $96,268 a year.

The positions with this government agency are open to Canadian citizens.

You need to have graduated from a two-year program of study at a post-secondary institution with a specialization in computer science, IT, engineering, network security, cyber security or another field relevant to the position.

Any higher level of education, like a bachelor's degree, in a related field of study could be considered experience.

You could get hired if you don't have any experience but if you want to be in the higher salary range, one to two years of relevant experience.

While most work has to be done in the office, a hybrid approach — remote work and on-site work — is taken when possible.

Also, some positions require flexible work hours and rotational shifts in a 24/7 work environment.

The closing date for the IT jobs with CSIS is March 31, 2024.

You're being told to not discuss your application with anyone besides your partner or close family members, who need to be discreet as well.

If you apply, you must be eligible to receive an "Enhanced Top Secret" security clearance which involves a security interview, a polygraph and a background investigation, including credit and financial checks.
