Login.gov | REMOTE or Washington, DC | Software Engineers | Full-Time | https://login.gov

Login.gov gives the public simple, secure access to multiple US government services through one verified account. We're working to fix online identity for US government services. The Login.gov team operates like a startup within the government, working in the open as a distributed, agile team. The core product is open source, hosted in modern cloud infrastructure, and built for scale. Tens of millions of people have Login.gov accounts, and we aim to be the preferred entrypoint for all government digital services. Our users include people accessing benefits, applying for government jobs, serving in the military, and collecting funds awarded through grant programs.

Find us on Github: https://github.com/18F/identity-idp

The Login.gov project began as a collaboration between 18F and the U.S. Digital Service (USDS). Today it's part of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS). You'll join other software engineers delivering better public services through modern technology.

Does the pay max out at GS-15 like USDS?
Yes it does! But, it's hard to put a dollar amount on the impact and feels you get doing public service. The benefits are great and the locality pay is something to consider as well.
Huh, that kind of salary makes it kind of hard to compete...
Not by a long shot. Its better than anything but the top companies. Total salary includes locality pay, which for DC is $142K and for SF is $154K. There are also a bunch of benefits, not least of which is the federal pension. If you worked for the feds for 20 years you would draw a $30k a year pension.
That’s in addition to the default max of $140K? If so, then yes, it would actually be really good.

Because it’d suck to start out at the max and then never increase any more.

I’m not sure if I’d count a $30k/year pension good, but the fact that you can get it after 20 years is pretty cool.

It’s not in addition. DC is $142,000 total after the CoL adjustment
