About Ad Hoc

Ad Hoc is a small software engineering company that came out of the successful effort to rescue HealthCare.gov after its disastrous initial launch.

Ad Hoc is focused on delivering and operating fast, stable, and well-designed services on behalf of U.S. federal and state government that enables agencies to provide transactional and informational services to consumers. We do this by bringing people from startups and successful private sector technology companies to these problems, collaborating closely with government partners to deliver software that actually works.

Following the initial launch of HealthCare.gov in 2013, the White House assembled a team of top technology talent from outside of government, to assess what was wrong and come up with a plan to fix it.

Greg and Paul, Ad Hoc's cofounders and principals, were part of that original group, known as the ad hoc team, that went in and worked along side those who had built HealthCare.gov.

Through their expert leadership and effort, they stablized the site and ensured that millions of Americans were able to get affordable health coverage. Read more on the rescue of HealthCare.gov.

Ad Hoc is based in Washington, DC, but we are a remote-first company, and have people working all over the USA (Chicago, Providence, Portland, ME, Massachusetts, Seattle, San Francisco).

We're inviting applicants with diverse backgrounds to join and help lead our team.

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package.
