Specifically, you will hold the role as ‘technical lead’ and work closely with Senate staff and a team of engineers and designers to prototype, design, build a new modern Member request system that will streamline decision-making and unlock new opportunities for evidence-based analysis.
This job is “under the dome” and located inside the United States Senate in Washington DC, working in the halls of Congress alongside senior and professional staff, policy analysts, and Senate partner organizations.
Pay: $130,000 - $175,000, locality Washington D.C.

A knack for leading agile teams. You will have point on overcoming technical challenges and leading the technical team.
A love for customer-facing work. We solve problems and make solutions. We help lessen the production work of lawmaking and create room for informed knowledge work. Our work bridges policy and performance requirements; EQ and IQ are vital.
