About Nava
Nava is a public benefit corporation, which means we have a social mission written into our founding charter. The people who work at Nava have a fiduciary duty to our stated mission: to improve access, effectiveness, and simplicity of government services.
As a professional services firm, we achieve our mission by partnering with government clients at the state and federal levels. We bill for our time, selling our expertise and problem-solving methodology to government clients who hire us to help improve their products and services so that their users and beneficiaries have a better experience.
These end-users — the humans who benefit from our work — are at the core of everything we do. They inspire and motivate us. Working with our government clients to align their goals with their beneficiary's needs enables them to better deliver on their mission and provides everyone at Nava opportunities to do meaningful, impactful work.
Nava is growing steadily to reimagine how our government serves its people, and we’re looking for experienced frontend developers to help drive this mission forward.
You will work on small teams and play a critical role in helping us build government services that millions of Americans depend on. You’ll be the keystone between design and engineering, translating wireframes into rock solid interfaces. You’re highly collaborative and passionate about delivering work at a very high level of polish and will help us set the standard for user-facing interactions.

- Work with fellow Nava engineers and designers to design, review, and build web services
- Collaborate with the government to invent, implement, and deploy new systems and improvements to existing systems
- Build functionality to ship new experiences and technologies
- Develop prototypes for new citizen-facing services and tools to help federal employees under tight communication deadlines
- Iterate on existing prototypes and applications to improve ease-of-use, interactivity, and responsiveness
What we're looking for
- At least one year of experience working in an agile, multi-disciplinary team environment developing medium or large scale web applications
- Significant experience in JavaScript and CSS
- Significant experience with any front-end framework such as Angular, React, Backbone, or Ember
- An adaptive, empathetic, collaborative and positive mindset
- Ability to think holistically around engineering issues
- Knowledge of frontend engineering security and architecture
- Tenacity to dive into problems and iterate in working code
- Excellent attention to detail around user experience and code cleanliness
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, technical and otherwise
