We're in the process of moving to GovCloud, but that's a relatively small part of the overall compliance...fun...that goes into getting a service FedRAMP-approved.

That's a bit out of our control. We are able to hire quickly because we use a "specialist" hiring authority, but that comes with downsides like what you describe. I'm a developer and am making more than I did at any previous job, if that helps.

The way we operate is that agencies come to us to do projects (or we initiate shared services like cloud.gov), so we don't exactly get to pick anything we want. That being said, there is a lot of freedom within the projects we have to work on things that interest you.

Correct – this is specifically for use by federal agencies.

Those teams definitely exist in agencies (GSA included), but we (18F) are managing ATOs internally for our projects, and are working on tooling to clarify, simplify, and automate the process. https://github.com/18F/control-masonry/ is our first project around this.

Member of 18F here. Not sure about USDS, but we get "public trust", which is basically the step below clearance. Basically means "stuff that isn't public yet". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_clearance#Public_Trust...
