This 18F blog post talks about the different types of roles people play on our team: https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/02/25/We-Are-Hiring/ . The application form for the Presidential Innovation Fellowship program also calls out specific skills and domain expertise they're looking for: https://pif.gsa.gov/ . Cheers!

The punch line is that after the in-person interview, they'll take more than a month to get back to you -- and then invite you back for another all-day.

1 kids. 2 dog. If you can make your alarm clock jump up and down on my bed and/or lick my face, it's a winner.

I wonder how the results of this poll break down for non-parents vs. parents (or those actively planning to have kids). I'm guessing the latter have significantly higher targets.
