Looking through the FAQ on the USDS website that is linked in the source, it seems a lot less bureaucratic than I would've ever anticipated. No job descriptions, no dress code. It seems more like a startup than I would've expected from a government org.

We're trying. There's still a lot of bureaucracy around USDS (which we work with to make things happen), but the org itself aims to be an excellent working environment. Happy to answer questions.

They're trying to hire people for a role where the industry custom is to dress less formally. It's possible they loosened up the rules after dumping the mega-IT project contractors behind the first healthcare.gov site and going with smaller, decentralized teams for the rebuild.
