Life at Coa
A small, senior team doing meaningful federal work. Veteran-founded, remote-first, mission-driven.
Benefits
We invest in the people doing the work. These aren't recruiting slogans. They're how the team actually operates.
Unlimited Vacation
We mean it, and people use it
Our team averages six weeks off per year. We encourage it. Sustained delivery for federal agencies requires people who aren't burned out.
Wellness Time
No questions asked
Take up to a week at a time for mental health. No doctor's note, no approval process. The work we do matters, and so does being well enough to do it.
Remote First
Work from where you work best
Distributed across the U.S. We hire experienced professionals and trust them to deliver. Our Arlington office is available if you want it.
Low Overhead Culture
No unnecessary process
No mandatory camera-on meetings, no forced team-building events. Clear expectations, direct communication, and respect for your time. We hire experienced people and stay out of their way.
Our Values
What drives us every day
Mission-Driven
We took on VA benefits delivery and IRS taxpayer identity because the work matters when it actually ships. Veterans and taxpayers feel the difference between software that works and software that stalls.
Security First
We build for ATO and FedRAMP from the first commit, not as a retrofit. Audit trails, least-privilege access, and federal data handling are defaults here because in government they're the requirement.
Citizen-Centered
Millions of Veterans use what we build on VA.gov. We design for the person on the other end of the form — clear, accessible, fast — not for the demo.
Proven Excellence
Eight years in continuous production on a Veterans appeals platform. 50M+ pages processed for document intelligence. We'd rather show the track record than describe it.
Real Talk
Federal AI and digital services work is complex: ATOs, compliance, interagency politics. We build the kind of team that can navigate that and still ship.
That means hiring experienced people, giving them real ownership, and staying out of their way. Clear expectations, direct communication, and the trust that comes from working with adults who've done this before.
Veteran-founded, mission-driven, and serious about the work, without the overhead that makes government contracting miserable.
