- iandanforth 9y agoPlease excuse the aside but of all the posts here that I wish were marked REMOTE this one tops the bill. We (Americans) need this org to succeed, but DC is simply not an option for many people.
- vorpalhex 9y agoI worked in DC while living in the suburbs of Maryland. The DC metro is far from perfect, but it's really not a terrible option. The bus system is also decent. Obviously a strong remote program is even better, but very unlikely for government work.
- rco8786 9y agoI don’t think your parent comment was saying DC was bad. He/she was just saying that it’s not an option for everyone to uproot and move and he/she wishes the listing was remote friendly.
- tsanzer 9y agoYou could look into Ad Hoc. They are a remote firm that builds government solutions. Worked on many popular apps.

- pryelluw 9y agoWhat's the interview process like?
- jbrambleDC 9y agoThere are probably many on HN who can answer this better than me, and it of course depends on what role you are interviewing for . But IIRC, for Engineers the process involves a technical phone screen, followed by a second technical interview plus a behavioral/EQ interview. After that, your application goes before a hiring committee.
- pryelluw 9y agoThank you for answering my question.
- jMyles 9y agoCan you provide some assurance re: how far removed this is from killing / caging humans? I know that it's impossible in our society to be completely removed, but can you at least ensure that this job doesn't involve building tooling that directly empowers those activities? (I'm not looking for work, but I surmise you'll have more success in this forum if you're clear about that.)
- jbrambleDC 9y agoI can provide 100% assurance of that. We choose projects based on "Doing the most good, for the most people, in the most need". It could be easily argued that the vast majority of our work, focuses on helping vulnerable populations. I've been here 10 Months and never had a single ethical concern. Furthermore, I firmly believe this is the kind of organization that would be fully supportive of anyone vocalizing any ethical concerns they personally had, in fact this would be encouraged.
