We have a very flat hierarchy and an emphasis on employee freedom. We encourage our team to work on projects that interest them, as we believe people are happiest and most productive when intellectually stimulated. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.
We're actively hiring for the following positions:

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.
It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Medicare. With the VA, we are working to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this. For Medicare, we are designing and building the architecture for Medicare's historic transition towards value-based care.
It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

Our regular clients include Disney, Hasbro, Warner Bros., PBS Kids, Scholastic, Dreamworks and a host of other kid focused companies. http://www.curiousmedia.com
We’ve been around since 2004 and have a team of 35. We are extremely stable and have many employees who have been with the company for 6-12 years now. We are very mindful and focused on being a family friendly workplace, both in the type of jobs we take and our expectations of employees time. We rarely work more than 40 hours a week and when we do, we give PTO at a 1:1 ratio (any hours over 45 in a week).
We are more specifically located in Nampa, about 14 miles west of Boise. Many employees commute from Boise/Meridian and its rarely more than a 25 minute commute as all the traffic is going towards Boise (and the opposite on the way home). This area is amazingly affordable and provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities. The closest respectable ski mountain is only about 30 minutes from downtown Boise and there are some world class resorts within 2-3 hours (Sun Valley, Tamarack, Brundage). If you are from one of the larger cities and looking for a change of pace, you should check Boise out!
