Please join the Digital Service Network for a free virtual government digital service job fair featuring various leaders in digital government currently looking for talented technologists. This event is free to attend and includes open positions in digital services, information technology, and data.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with and learn from hiring managers; and receive detailed information about applying for a government job. You’ll leave the event with information about open positions and the specific benefits related to public service jobs. After the event, employers will follow up with all attendees with application information about current positions, and future positions as well.

Everyone is welcome to attend, from students to senior executives. There are currently open positions for all levels of experience, ranging from entry level positions, to early- and mid-career opportunities, to senior management positions.

This event is organized by the Digital Service Network, a partnership program from the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation and U.S. Digital Response, and supported by the Tech Talent Project, Technologists for the Public Good, and Georgetown Tech Policy Initiative.

About the Digital Service Network:

The Digital Service Network (DSN) connects and supports digital service teams and professionals so government is responsive, open, and accessible to everyone. Join the DSN mailing list today and help us build a collaborative network of digital government leaders and best practices.

DSN peer learning is supported by the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation at Georgetown University, and the U.S. Digital Response.

Communities across the country need technical expertise that can help them meet the speed of need. Join U.S. Digital Response’s newest series where we go deep into the engineering work behind the hundreds of projects we’ve completed to support communities around the United States.

We’ll highlight the technology we’ve built, the technical (and non-technical) challenges we’ve had to overcome and what we’ve learned. We’ll also highlight the individuals who have contributed to these projects and share how you as a technologist can support public servants in the public interest technology sector.

Transitioning from Big Tech to Civic Tech

Are you considering a career change into civic technology, but not sure where to start or if the move is right for you?

Hear from our panel of talented technical employees who have made the move from big tech to civic tech and how these industries reinforce each other. Careers in the public sector can range from working within government agency teams to organizations who offer support, like U.S. Digital Response. While positions and teams differ across the country, one thing’s for sure: almost everyone is hiring right now.

Our panelists will share their journeys and dive deep into how working in civic technology is different from their previous tech careers, what opportunities are out there, and how to craft a career trajectory that doesn’t pigeon hole yourself into any one industry.

Panelists:

Host: Alex Allain, CTO and Co-Founder at USDR (formerly director of engineering at Dropbox)

- Dave Cole, Office of Innovation State of New Jersey (formerly VP Strategy and Operations at Mapbox)

- Aditya Sridhar, Economic Stability Product Engineer at USDR (formerly software engineer at Check)
