For People improves digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations by embedding directly in government agencies. We modernize software, systems, and platforms to ensure they better serve the people who need them the most. We're a fully remote, human-centered team that prioritizes positive work-life balance and the well-being of our people.

Your Impact

The DevOps & Infrastructure Engineering team builds and maintains the foundational systems that support data scientists, analysts, researchers and policymakers working on Medicaid data analytics across the United States Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We are responsible for the architecture, deployment, and maintenance of core infrastructure components in the cloud. We strive to build automated, resilient, scalable and secure systems to help enable our users to do their best work with minimal disruptions.

You will be leveraging native AWS technologies and 3rd party tools to improve existing systems and build new ones. You will be collaborating with the platform and security teams to help implement scalable and secure infrastructure solutions that meet our users’ needs and help facilitate data-driven health care policy making at CMS.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!
