lots of positive discussion on how this group works, especially, "The Atlantic article", as above. Previous HN threads ~ https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Healthcare.gov&sort=byPopulari...

Hi there! Any chance you'd allow folks in Baltimore to avoid two beltways and work remotely the majority of the time?

Heads up, I applied with these guys and it was a great process overall.
I ended up not getting extended a position but they were still a great group of people. From what i can remember there was remote work available to an extent but it was mainly working together with the rest of the team in the office since they are small.

Hey, I'm one of the cofounders of Nava. We currently are only hiring for on-site roles, as we find physical presence to be essential for much of our work. However, we have a flexible work policy that in practice shakes out to many people working from home around one day/week.
We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.
It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this.
It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected]
