Truss

We are a professional services company founded in 2012. We specialize in software development, digital services, and consulting. We work with organizations and government agencies to modernize and scale their digital services, using a human-centered approach.\n\nOur goal is to build user-centered software that improves experiences for millions. We help clients design, build, and scale modern software that is fast and secure. We address issues like unsustainable technical infrastructure, insufficient user research, weak product management, and siloed teams.\n\nOur methodology emphasizes an Agile approach, iterative development, regular feedback loops, and user testing. We are also ISO 9001:2015 certified.\n\nPast projects include the IRS Direct File pilot, the Solution for Insider Threat Hinderance (SITH) for the Department of Defense, and work on healthcare.gov. We have also partnered with organizations like Nava, the United States Transportation Command, the Digital Service at VA, and Nuna.\n\nWe focus on agile, federal government, and civic tech within the software development industry.

We aim to build great software and strong teams, because we believe software development is impossible without them. We embed our crew directly with client teams to understand their needs, improve processes, and ensure scalability.\n\nWe solve problems by asking questions, testing ideas, and iterating. We focus on people, understanding that technical issues often come from people issues. This approach helps us build software that improves users’ lives and creates more productive teams.\n\nOur core beliefs guide us:\n* Build Alliances: We tackle difficult problems, collaborate with clients, and embrace diversity.\n* Pay Attention: We practice self-awareness and situational awareness, and we work within constraints.\n* Show Up, Step Up: We articulate our vision and help others follow.\n* Pursue Mastery: We strive for the highest standards, improve through small gains, and challenge ourselves.\n* Act Without Fear: We practice radical candor and humility, always making the best move.\n* Be Adaptable: We keep things lean, design for the unexpected, and adjust our processes.

We are a remote-first, fully distributed organization, which means our employees can work from anywhere in the U.S. We have a salary-transparent culture, even for our CEO, and we are committed to building diverse teams for better problem-solving.\n\nOur workplace culture is inclusive and transparent. Employees tell us they feel seen as individuals and supported in achieving work-life balance. We foster a collaborative environment, working closely with clients and partners.

We offer a strong package of employee benefits and perks. This includes transparent salaries and career levels across the organization.\n\nSince we are location-agnostic, our employees can work from anywhere in the U.S. We have family-friendly policies, including parental leave that covers adoptions. We also provide generous paid time off: four weeks of PTO and four weeks of sick time.\n\nWe give employees a monthly budget to connect with colleagues. Our insurance coverage includes medical, dental, vision, life, and disability. We also offer coworking reimbursement and an equipment budget to help you set up a comfortable workspace. A 401(k) plan with a company match is available for retirement savings.
