So I'm a software engineer in SF who would love to work on projects like you mentioned. Where do I look and what do I look for?

It looks like 18F isn't hiring currently: https://pages.18f.gov/joining-18f/open-positions/
We're briefly pausing accepting new applications while we evolve how 18F plans for open roles.

Also check out adhocteam.us. I don't work there, but they're doing important work for HHS and VA.

Thanks for linking to them. I found their code challenges and they are interesting (I do them as a hobby).

What's your stack like?

Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that delivers value in heaps and heaps, and remains super fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher and higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two (perhaps in Elixir?). Specific engineering roles we have open are for someone that is highly-opinionated on the front-end stack/practices, a security specialist, and a UX/a11y specialist. We're using Kubernetes for cluster management.
Also hiring in sales and customer success.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Is no recent rails experience an issue? I have django experience (years worth) but anything recent with rails (nothing after rails 2).

Not an issue at all, we could probably benefit from your perspective :)
