[Coding/UX/UI] Attention fellow UX/UI Designers: my place of employment is still in search of someone to join our design team. We're currently working remotely but will be heading back to the office for hybrid schedules at some point, so you would have to relocate to Maryland, but honestly I'm the happiest I've ever been at this company, so...JOIN US!
I know for a fact that you'd be joining the design team that I'm already on and can say that it's an amazing group of women (yes, the whole team is women; the team leader is a man, but the other six of us are women...in a STEM field, this team must be unicorn-ish in nature, right?)
They compensate us really well, we have pretty great insurance with a wide network, vacation days and sick time that increase every year for the first three years and then increase more on larger milestones. They encourage us to use our vacation and sick time and they strongly encourage work/life balance. The culture is laid back and fun.
Best of all, we get annual raises. To someone already steeped in this field, that's probably a no-brainer but for someone like me who came from a retail background and is largely a self-taught coder, I'd never seen a raise in my LIFE unless the state's minimum wage increased, so seeing consistent annual raises ranging from 3-15% has been mind-blowing.
Anyway, yeah, if you're a coder and you're looking to break into the field or you're down for a relocation and a chance to start something new, we've been looking to fill the position for a while and I love, love, love my job and where I work, so I can't not pass the posting along.
For reference, when I got hired on, I had an Associate's degree, literally zero experience actually coding in a corporate environment (only for Dreamwidth and IJ stuff, really), and didn't know a damn thing about JavaScript except how to read really simple functions.
My starting salary was plenty for me to live comfortably in an apartment alone in Annapolis, which is saying plenty given the cost of living in Annapolis lol. The retirement plan is an SEP you qualify for after two years at the company into which the company contributes 9% of your salary annually; you don't contribute a dime. Free retirement money ftw!
Last point before I stop gushing: we work almost exclusively as contractors for NIH and NCI. We're paid as hourly employees of IMS and IMS is contracted by NIH and NCI (and as of last year, a couple of CDC sites are on my plate, personally). Almost all of the sites I work on are 
Comprehensive Cancer Information domains. We redesign, maintain, update, and create websites/apps.

(That's cancer(dot)gov, sorry about that)
If the job is of interest to you (or to anyone you know and want to pass it along to) and you have any questions, hit me up!
if not for the need to relocate i would be so tempted. but i cannot move again rn lmfao
I don't blame you, it's a lot. I think if they get desperate enough to fill it, they'll change it to have a remote option bc half the company is transitioning to full-time telecommuting as it is, but yeah for now it's full-time with the expectation to be in office eventually 
alas!! but who knows. maybe like you said, they'd change it eventually, and it'll line up with my timing of Knowing A Bit More Solidly what the fuck i'm doing, and the stars will align for me later LOL
Keep an eye on the space on imsweb(dot) com. They've literally been trying to fill that role for a big chunk of this year
