We have a Github, but in a lot of ways it feels kind of like an archive. Does anyone have feedback on how it can be made more useful? We have all the authority to be good OSS community members.
Maybe if we were to prioritize like general purpose libraries instead of just our super domain specific projects?
EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment.
EPA deals with sensitive information, for example criminal investigations for polluters, and the business secret formulas for cleaning products which are evaluated for safety. EPA also has systems that must be online during radiation or environmental emergencies.
We are seeking cybersecurity professionals to aid keeping our systems secure.
New policy has allowed hiring of fully remote employees. Please ask the recruiter in the listing or during your interview.
The good parts are working with people passionate about their jobs, on things that truly matter. Work life balance and management trust is very high.
The bad parts are there as well: outdated technology, lots of committees, long processes to do certain things. Pay is less then I could get in industry.
Mixed bag: Not a "fast to fire" environment. Ethics/values are very high but that doesn't automatically mean good management. You need to meet and work with a lot of people.. but people are very open to collaborating.
I have heard that the government in a way is supposed to be the "model employer"; kind of being an example to others in terms of diversity/inclusion, time off policies, benefits, etc. And I think is that sort of true at least at this agency.

For companies that are managing one specific type of data and that alone-- for example a support desk-- something like Zendesk works perfectly. Those aren't the types people this would be able to help.
It's the organizations that might do many different things at the same time-- maybe one or two people are managing customer requests as well as checking in and handling customer inventory with a special workflow. For example, at the University I worked for we whitelisted the MAC addresses of hundreds of customer devices using a special procedure that changed every couple months.
This tool would allow people to easily manage that work and keep that that workflow up to date. This would cut down on mistakes and make things go a lot faster.
--Story--A while ago I worked in a call center at a university. Their business software was a mess of hacked tools and scripts because their needs were constantly changing. The cool part? The student leads were the ones implementing the business rules.The idea is to build a flexible and fun tool for managing organization data. Things like: call center tickets, work orders, incident reports,...
