Remote status
18F employees live all over the country. We work out of homes in Dayton and Tucson, St. Louis and Chapel Hill — and in federal buildings in San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Washington D.C.
That means many of our project teams are also made up of distributed employees working all over the country. For example, you may have a developer in Austin, a designer in Washington D.C., and a content strategist in Portland — but they’re all working on the same team and with the same partners.
Because we work on distributed teams so frequently, we've developed certain strategies for working well as a collaborative operation.
