We are a data and technology innovation hub and a Benefit Corporation working at the center of the federal government's mission to deliver for client stakeholders and the US public, looking for highly motivated contributors who thrive when trusted to own a hard problem and equipped to deliver the solution. Your first assignment Your first assignment will likely have you taking user stories from refinement all the way to production by: * building serverless, event-driven application workflows, cloud-native on AWS, with Lambda and Step Functions; * connecting commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products into the larger system frameworks developed in-house; * building API connections, whether internal or external, that support modern system architectures; or * creating data and document pipelines that make automatic what used to be manual and paper-heavy. Adaptability and a demonstrated capacity to learn new concepts, systems, and tools are what keep you ahead of program needs as projects complete and priorities shift. The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are. What you'll build * Cloud-native, modern systems whose streamlined, automated operation creates exceptional business value. * Tested, working code you own all the way to production, including the defects you uncover and correct along the way. * Automation that retires manual process, the validations, checks, and workflows that once lived in somebody's spreadsheet. * Routine deployments, with services shipped through pipelines instead of through events. * AI-assisted development as the default way of working, with tools like Amazon Q Developer across the entire lifecycle. * And over time, the firm itself, through the new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help launch. Who you are You care about what you build and judge it by whether it works for the people who rely on it. As priorities move, you move with them, treating each new tool and domain as an opportunity to improve your craft. You communicate clearly, adapt across roles and clients, and care about creating public value. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task. What you bring * A practical command of modern cloud development, with the range to build something new or make an existing system work better. * The matching delivery habits, meaning version control, unit and integration testing, code review, secure coding, and accessibility. * Plain-language communication about your work with the people who depend on it, explaining clearly and listening for what they need. * The precision to work where accuracy and auditability are not optional. ## Related Videos - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
