- monatron 6y agoI've always been interested in USDS but the requirement to relo to DC is always a non-starter.
- Matt_Cutts 6y agoIf you wanted to try a short tour, now is a very good time; things are quite remote-friendly right now. Then when the COVID situation is better, you'd have better information about whether the DC trade-off is worthwhile.
- Matt_Cutts 6y agoThe work we're doing helps everyone from Veterans to medical patients. Making government services responsive, accessible, and transparent is really important right now. Please consider applying, or just ask here if you have any additional questions!
- snowwrestler 6y agoIs USDS recruiting focused solely on tech companies? I know some strong folks looking for work, but they're coming out of being digital people in DC nonprofit world, not working at tech startups.
- 0kl 6y agoCurrent USDSer - We hire from anywhere. If you have the skill set, battle-scars, and a willingness to dive into hard problems, we want you.
- snowwrestler 6y agoThank you
- wycy 6y agoAs a current federal employee in DC, I've been long interested in working for USDS--in fact I've had a USDS jobs tab open in one of my long-lived browser windows since 2019. The one thing that has dissuaded me from applying is the "tours" aspect whereby the position is temporary. I'm not as into the Silicon Valley constant job-hopping thing. I'm more into gaining a depth of knowledge in each project I work on rather than skipping around and not feeling ownership.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoTour of duty model is required due to how they hack the GS pay scale to get folks closer to technologist market rate. They are doing meaningful, impactful work, and even if you’re adverse to the short term model, I’d highly recommend considering a conversation with them (might be possible to do a tour with USDS and then roll into a long term role at 18F @ GSA).
- ApolloRising 6y agoI would be interested in the senior product type role.
