Jobs at Skylight
Skylight is at the forefront of a civic movement to reinvent how the government serves the public in a digital world.
We work in small, fast, agile teams to create exceptional customer experiences and enduring solutions out of the government’s most complex design and technology challenges. The work is challenging, but highly rewarding: millions of people — from veterans to immigrants — depend on government services to fulfill their needs every day.
Our founding team consists of recognized technologists and entrepreneurs who have: served as distinguished Presidential Innovation Fellows under the Obama Administration; founded and scaled 18F, a 200-person digital center of excellence housed within the U.S. federal government; built and sold technology startups; created standards that power the internet; and more.
We're working hard to develop an incredible, diverse team of civic impact junkies who are driven to create better outcomes for the public through great government digital services. We're digital to the core, open by default, and public servants at heart. We want Skylight to be a platform for amplifying people’s superpowers and facilitating the realization of their public-service ambitions.
We're also certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) company. This special SBA designation means we're committed to revitalizing local communities through job creation. In turn, we're granted privileged access to federal government contract opportunities, including up to $4M per contract award. This gives us unique competitive advantage when competing for federal government contracts.
