18F is a technology consulting office inside the government, for the government. We work with agencies to build and buy digital services that meet their needs, and we educate federal employees about how to move to high-functioning, efficient, and user-centered software development techniques.
We are currently hiring front end designers, visual designers, software developers, product leads, and technical account managers. You can read more about each of these roles here: https://pages.18f.gov/joining-18f/roles-and-teams/ https://pages.18f.gov/joining-18f/roles-and-teams/
Most of our team is distributed across the country in places like Chicago, New York, Raleigh, Tucson, Austin, Dayton, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle, and Portland.

- rememberlenny 11y ago18F is awesome. If anyone has questions, Im happy to answer at rememberlenny at gmail.
- Glyptodon 11y agoIf the teams are distributed do you get your choice of geographic location?
- andrefrancisco 11y agoYou can work from wherever you are, and you can change locations while working for 18F. But we don't provide money for relocation. Another note that the federal pay scale is determined in part by your location. More details here https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2016/general-schedule/ https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries...
- warfangle 11y agoWhen you change locations, your pay rate is also changed, correct?
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- andrefrancisco 11y agoCorrect.
- mooreds 11y agoBut note that they can make exceptions to the pay scale (at least, move you around under the overall cap).
- jotux 11y agoWhat's the working level grade for engineers?
- andrefrancisco 11y agoThere isn't a set grade level for engineers, but most of our staff starts at a GS 14 or 15.
- _007_ 11y agoWhat about for entry-level candidates?
- wei000 11y agothat sounds bad, different location different pay
- microcolonel 11y agoFor example, the absolute maximum they pay anyone in SF is 160k. What "grade" would candidates for "Software Developer" have? What determines the "step" ?
- jrowley 11y agoI love how transparent/well documented 18f is with the hiring process. The golden standard from an applicants perspective.
- andrefrancisco 11y agoThanks! Our Talent Team has been hard at work on that. If there's any info missing from https://pages.18f.gov/joining-18f/index.html https://pages.18f.gov/joining-18f/index.html, please feel free to file an issue and we'll try to get it resolved. https://github.com/18F/joining-18f/issues https://github.com/18F/joining-18f/issues
- coherentpony 11y agoDo you consider non-US citizens?
- andrefrancisco 11y agoIf you are a non-citizen national of the U.S. or have been admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence and hold a valid green card then you can work at 18F.
- rambos 11y agoWhat should a junior-level Dev out of DC make? Say they currently make 80k. Solid OOP, modern web framework usage, solid JS. Pay raise/cut/stay the same?
- ejcx 11y agoThis depends on a lot of things. 18f is government so expect lower. Feel free to email me if its a bridge you end up crossing (I'm a lifetime DC native)
- ones_and_zeros 11y agoIf you stop calling yourself a junior developer you will be making 130k in DC.
- Gorbzel 11y agoAll web positions. I hope this doesn't imply that the government avoids native mobile!
- neilk 11y agoI hope they do avoid native mobile! The government should be making services that work with every kind of device, out of the box. Given the kind of services the government is likely to build, a website is way, way more cost effective. And Googleable! Plus, accessibility requirements mandate services that can be read by the blind, hearing impaired, etc, all of which is possible with the web and much harder with native mobile.
- GingerBoats 11y agoBummer. Looks like there aren't too many software engineering positions open. Would be an amazing fit for this veteran.
