Hackers come to mind, but I'm struggling to think of other criminal skills that the government would direct hire you for.
I don't know that I would count Confidential Informants as being "hired", nor someone being hired who resides outside the country theyre working for (an Algerian smuggler working for/with the CIA, for example).
Can anyone think of any others?
Maybe espionage, in flipping assets to become double agents.
Counter intelligence style jobs. Hiring the person who breaks into a military base to harden bases. Hacking in the physical space I guess.
Smugglers are probably used for black ops, but that's probably more of a contractor type situation than a hiring. Similarly contract killers that are sufficiently good probably have state level protections to some degree.
