To be included in this list, must employ people in technology/design teams in NYC, or hire remotely for those roles. Feel free to comment to suggest more, though I will delete comments where I don't see any jobs listed that meet that criteria.

Great list! Will share widely!

HHS also has a term-appointment program for bringing in senior tech/biz people: https://www.hhs.gov/idealab/eir-program/apply/

(Don't think there are any openings currently, but hopefully soon!)

Oh, also:

• https://twitter.com/Truss_Works <-- I don't know anything about them except that they keep popping in my Twitter timeline and seem like decent folks.
• https://fearless.tech/ <-- Contractors for several projects at CMS that I know of. Friendly and sharp. Weirdly into the color purple.
• https://newwave.io/ <-- Friendly folks. @ekivemark works there and he knows literally everyone in gov+health IT.

And only just now do I notice that this says "New York or remote" in the title. Doh! Oh well.

Case Commons is now replaced by Casebook PBC [http://www.casebook.net]
