Why Skylight?
Our mission matters
We're more than a company. We represent a movement to reinvent how the government serves families, patients, veterans, immigrants, and many others in today's digital world. Everything about us — our structure, values, services, work, thoughts, and team — is designed with that purpose in mind.
You matter
It's people like you — with talents in research, design, product, engineering, data, and more — who can make a difference. We've created an environment that empowers you to unleash your skills for public good, whether that's improving early childhood outcomes or helping to save veteran lives. You'll work alongside a team of a team of extraordinarily-talented people who strive to bring out the best in you and each other. You'll also be taken care of with a well-thought-out compensation and benefits package. We want you to be happy, fulfilled, and well-supported.
We're just getting started
We're still in startup mode, and our future is bright. We're doing impactful work, building an amazing team, and improving every day. Everyone is given the opportunity to shape the company in some way. We'd love for you to join us in creating something special.
