Responsibilities & more


Join Verdance and help improve government digital services. About the role: You’ll join a growing company working with a variety of government agencies to build high-quality digital public services. Your initial project placement will be on a small team working in Congress to modernize tools used by legislative teams to manage critical budget processes. The role will be hybrid on-site, with an anticipated two days a week onsite in an office of the House of Representatives, so living within a reasonable commute of the Capitol area is a must. We're anticipating that this team will be significantly less constrained in shipping velocity than many executive branch tech teams, so we're looking for someone with a scrappy get-it-done mindset. Here are our must-have priorities for this role: * 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience. * Substantial experience with at least two of JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or Java, and enthusiasm to pick up new tools and languages as needed. * Enthusiasm to learn the ins and outs of complicated legislative processes and participate with product and design to co-define a modernization approach. Here’s what we hope you bring: * A civic tech background. * Some C#/.NET experience or Windows development experience is ideal. * Enough infrastructure experience to be comfortable scrubbing in sometimes on DevOps tasks. * Understanding of unit testing, CI/CD, and cloud services. * Experience writing efficient, maintainable code. * Desire to learn about government and help make it better. * Desire to work at a small company focused on thoughtful growth. * Professionalism, curiosity, and humility. Here’s what we’re offering in return: * $150k-$177k salary range (depending on seniority). * 4 weeks PTO per year + federal holidays. * Insurance, including dental and vision. * 401(k) with 4% match. * 12 weeks paid parental leave. * Flexible work schedule. * An interview process that respects your time. Some administrative requirements of our government contracts: * Work authorization in the US. * All work must take place in the continental US. * Team members must have lived in the US for 3 out of the past 5 years. * You'll have to pass a public trust government background investigation. A little more about us: Verdance is a public interest technology firm, spun up to help government partners navigate critical technology challenges. We’re a small company with deep experience working in government settings. Before Verdance, we’ve started modern technology teams in Congress, helped rebuild HealthCare.gov, and redesigned social safety net systems for Veterans.
