CFPB is a consumer-centric federal agency that uses its dev and design skills to raise awareness of financial issues like student debt and discriminatory lending practices. We’re accepting applications for our 2015 technology fellowship and we’re looking for graphic designers, front-end devs, back-end devs, data scientists and UX experts. It's a two-year fellowship that starts in January 2015. Applications close soon, though, on July 31!

Job logistics:
- 100% remote (work from anywhere in the U.S. with occasional trips to DC to meet with teammates and subject matter experts)
- It's a full-time gig with a solid salary (between $75k and $145k depending on experience and location).
- Write open source code all day long. Legally, all code you write is in the Public Domain.
- Federal benefits and opportunities to attend conferences like OSCON, Fluent, PyCon, OpenVis, Strange Loop and more.
- Work on stuff that matters! CFPB was created to protect American citizens from shady banking practices.
