Do you consider non-US citizens?

[andrefrancisco]

If 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.

Bummer.

Looks like there aren't too many software engineering positions open. Would be an amazing fit for this veteran.

If the teams are distributed do you get your choice of geographic location?

What 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?

[ones_and_zeros]

If you stop calling yourself a junior developer you will be making 130k in DC.

This 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)

[jrowley]

I love how transparent/well documented 18f is with the hiring process. The golden standard from an applicants perspective.

All web positions. I hope this doesn't imply that the government avoids native mobile!

I 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.
