We are a digital consultancy founded in 2017. We use design and technology to help government agencies deliver public services. We specialize in IT services and consulting, focusing on digital modernization for government projects that improve services for agencies and the public.

Our work covers Digital Procurement, Digital Transformation, Legacy Systems Reengineering, Internet of Things, APIs, DevOps, Digital Service Delivery, Service Design, Artificial Intelligence, Human-Centered Design, and Data & Analytics.

We offer several services:

• Content Design: We create user-centered content for government applications, advocating for plain language and inclusivity. We also establish content governance.
• Product Management: We lead cross-functional teams to define product strategy, vision, and roadmaps for digital modernization. For example, we improve usability and operational efficiency for clients like the U.S. Air Force Special Operations.
• Finance Management: We manage financial operations in a government contracting environment, overseeing contract setup, funding, and cost controls.
• Service Design: We shape end-to-end workflows, data models, and infrastructure for scalable, AI-ready services.
• User Enablement: Our specialists design onboarding strategies and training for users transitioning to modern applications.
• Product Design: We ensure user-centered product development—from research to implementation—for government projects, integrating accessibility, privacy, and security.

Our mission is to use design and technology to improve public services for government agencies and the people they serve. We focus on public interest technology work.

Our approach emphasizes user-centered government services, plain language, inclusivity, accuracy, accessibility, and consistency across documentation, interfaces, and services. We build trust by designing clear notices and data-handling explanations.

We have 51-200 employees and operate fully remotely across the U.S. Our culture fosters collaboration, with employees working in cross-functional teams. These teams often include researchers, designers, engineers, client stakeholders, and government partners.

We contribute to public-interest technology projects for government clients, participate in agile ceremonies, and use our expertise to solve real-world problems. We encourage diverse applicants and value effective communication and hands-on project work.

We offer a range of employee benefits and perks, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. Financial benefits include short-term and long-term disability insurance, life and AD&D insurance, dependent care FSA, healthcare FSA, and health savings accounts. We provide a dollar-for-dollar 401(k) match up to 10% of salary with no vesting period.

Our paid time off includes a flexible policy, generally around 25 days per year, in addition to 11 paid federal holidays. New birth, adoption, or foster parents get up to 12 weeks of paid time off.

Performance rewards like annual salary increases, annual performance bonuses, spot bonuses, and stock options are available. We also offer bonuses for business development/sales and referrals. We provide an annual $2,000 allowance for professional development, a $750 allowance for tech-related purchases, and a $100 swag budget.
