Structure wise the Digital Service is made up of a headquarters team within the White House, 18F which is an internal software development organization within the General Services Administration, and then embedded teams growing to be within each cabinet level agency. This creates a mixture of distributed execution plus centralized resources to help each team as needed.

This is correct. The HQ team is a part of OMB, the White House's Office of Management and Budgest.

The agency teams can be thought of as a franchise model, we work closely with the HQ team and the other agency teams, but we're also a for real part of the agency we work at.

I was disappointed to find out yesterday from Jeff M. that there is no remote position available. I hope this changes at some point in the near future.
