What is this job board?
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
Current government employees share their journey into public service:
"Because government controls a lot of what happens in cities, I knew I'd better understand how it all works."
