Work on systems that actually ship.

We're hiring engineers, a software developer intern, and a marketing and business development associate to work on programs for federal agencies and commercial partners. No ceremonial process. Just practitioners doing the work.

Why Kollabio

What you'll actually find here.

A small, senior team that has delivered for federal agencies since 2015. Here's what makes the work different.

Senior-heavy, small by design

You'll work directly with partners on every engagement, not relay communication through three layers of program management.

Outcomes over hours

We measure impact, not timesheets. Our programs ship — and we can point to the systems running in production, with real users, to prove it.

A culture worth certifying

Great Place to Work certified two years running. Best and Brightest. Inc. 5000. The scoreboard matters less than what it represents — people who like coming to work.

Life at Kollabio

We like coming to work, and the data backs it up.

Great Place To Work certified two years running, and 90% of our team say Kollabio is a great place to work. We work hard on real problems, and we do it among people we respect.

We're not perfect. But we're honest about where we're going, generous with context, and allergic to the kind of consulting theater that wastes your weekends.

Who thrives here

We're a small team, so each person shapes how we work. These are the traits we look for in every role, and what we expect of each other.

  • Ownership

    You take a problem from first sketch to production and see it through, without waiting for a task list.

  • Systems thinking

    You think beyond the current ticket, about tradeoffs, maintainability, and the people who will use the system.

  • Clear communication

    You explain decisions and tradeoffs plainly, in writing and in person, and you say what you don't know.

  • Feedback, early and often

    You ask for feedback before the work is finished, give it constructively, and act on what you hear.

  • AI fluency with judgment

    You use AI tools every day to work faster, and you review everything they produce before it ships.

  • Curiosity

    You're eager to learn new tools and domains, and how the missions of the people we serve actually work.

How we hire

A short, clear interview process.

You'll know what each step is for and who you'll meet. The steps depend on the role.
