Please note you must apply through our application portal from Wednesday, October 14 - Sunday, October 25, 2026. Applications submitted via third-party websites will not be considered. 

Coding it Forward is hiring recently graduated students (undergrad, masters, or PhDs) to participate in the Coding it Forward Fellowship, a full-time paid, 10-week winter Fellowship for early-career technologists to innovate in state government.

Fellows work across data, design, product, or software to build a more equitable and effective government for all. 

Fellows have the opportunity to:

• Get paid while making an impact. You’ll contribute your expertise to some of the most pressing problems facing our country while getting your start in public interest technology. 
• Develop as a mission-driven technologist. You’ll work alongside public servants to apply your technical and problem-solving skills to improve the critical products and services our communities depend on.
• Grow personally and professionally. You’ll attend weekly events led by top technologists, gain access to a one-on-one mentor, and office hours with the Coding it Forward team. 
• Join a cohort-based community. You’ll build lasting connections with other passionate early-career technologists in your cohort through social activities, group check-ins, and special events.
• Expand your network. After the winter ends, you’ll join our dynamic network of more than 700 alumni and receive access to job opportunities, professional development resources, and more.

Program Logistics

• Dates: January 11 - March 19, 2027
• Time Commitment: Full-time, 40 Hours/Week. You must not be actively enrolled in an academic program at the time of the Fellowship.
