Senior-heavy, small by design
You'll work directly with partners on every engagement, not relay communication through three layers of program management.
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.
All roles are based in Brambleton, Virginia, on a hybrid schedule with three days on site. We welcome applications from veterans, returners, and non-traditional backgrounds.
A small, senior team that has delivered for federal agencies since 2015. Here's what makes the work different.
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.
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.
You take a problem from first sketch to production and see it through, without waiting for a task list.
You think beyond the current ticket, about tradeoffs, maintainability, and the people who will use the system.
You explain decisions and tradeoffs plainly, in writing and in person, and you say what you don't know.
You ask for feedback before the work is finished, give it constructively, and act on what you hear.
You use AI tools every day to work faster, and you review everything they produce before it ships.
You're eager to learn new tools and domains, and how the missions of the people we serve actually work.
You'll know what each step is for and who you'll meet. The steps depend on the role.
