Work on things that matter

This job board is a collection of curated opportunities in public interest technology. We believe that people with design, product, analytical, and technical expertise can make a difference in how government works.

What is public interest tech?

Public Interest: contributing to the common good. We use this to describe several types of organizations, such as:

governments
non-profits that partner with governments
for-profits that have a strong focus on social impact

Tech: any skills required to build products and services. This includes, but is not limited to:

product and project managers
researchers and designers
developers
analysts
content strategists
