Code for America believes government can work for the people, by the people, in the 21st century.
We build open source technology and organize a network of people dedicated to making government services simple, effective, and easy to use.
Our employees build and transform government services, making them so good they inspire change. We merge the best parts of technology, non-profit, and government to help support the people who need it most. With a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and deep empathy for both the government and the people the government serves, we’re building a movement of motivated change agents driven by meaningful results and lasting impact.
We are looking for a Service Designer to join our Insight & Impact team.
The Safety Net consists of largely disconnected government-funded social benefit programs that aim to promote the health and wellbeing of children, adults, and seniors. Most Americans have relied on at least one safety net benefit program at some point in their life for healthcare, food, or money in times of need. Code for America’s Safety Net Team uses human-centered technology and movement strategy to co-create a social safety net that provides economic justice and health equity.
As part of the Service Design Team at Code for America, you will help transform how government services are delivered. Your work will demonstrate that design can create the conditions for generational, systemic change and help millions of people in need.
You’ll join our Insight and Impact team and focus on time-bound projects with government partners. You’ll join a small and highly collaborative multidisciplinary team to evaluate government services, prototype design interventions, facilitate workshops and co-design sessions, create actionable resources, and teach government how to apply human centered design to their programs and services.
