Nava - Washington DC I'm part of a small team of expats from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix healthcare.gov. (Mostly Stanford, Google, Y Combinator folks) We've learned a ton, and see an opportunity to create software that radically improves how our government serves its people - we've started our company, Nava, to chase that vision. In the last 6 months, we've launched 2 major projects: - Ap…

I just wanted to say that this sounds totally awesome, and if I didn't have criminal baggage and was willing to relocate to DC, I'd be all over this.

Thanks for doing work :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Huh, that sounds intriguing. What 'kind' of engineer are you looking for? Any specific platforms, languages or fields of interest? I went through the site and the portfolio consists of multiple (and very different) projects, so I'm just wondering how it works. :)

We're a pretty small software consulting agency, so we're looking for engineers that are capable of learning new technologies and adopting to best-practices in those technologies. Ideally, we're looking for people that: * bring expertise in at least one framework that we're likely to use[1], and * love to start projects in a software stack that they haven't used before. [1] Rails, django, iOS, Android, Xamarin, WPF,…

Makes sense.

I mean, I mostly work with C# and F# on the back-end, but I created my fair share of WPF apps which I vastly prefer to web front ends. I also tinker with Scala in my free time, but I don't really know much about the JVM ecosystem.

I also readily admit I know next to nothing (neither have a feeling for) the UI/UX design, which is why I usually relied on libraries like MahApps; lately I had my eye on Material Design for WPF.

Considering my contract is up soon(ish), what you're offering looks tempting. :)

All things considered, I still feel compelled to ask: do you have a salary range or is it discussed individually? Or both, to a degree?
