Our team, composed of former public health officials, works with state and local health departments across the country, building resilient public health operating systems.

About Consulting At F&T Labs

If you're new to consulting, we want to help you understand what makes F&T Labs different and why our approach might be perfect for you. We know transitioning from government and non-profit to consulting can be a big step, but we've designed our work environment to blend the best of both worlds.

First, let's talk about how we work. Unlike traditional consulting firms, we hire you for a role, not a specific project. This means you can contribute to various initiatives that match your expertise and interests. Think of it as bringing your public health superpowers to different challenges where they're needed most.

We believe in measuring what matters. While many consulting firms focus on billable hours, we care about the quality and impact of your work. Time sheets don't measure your success with us – it's measured by the meaningful solutions you help create for our clients and their communities.

Yes, we have utilization targets (consulting speak for how much of your time is spent on client work), but we view these as guideposts rather than strict rules. They help us ensure we're making a sustainable impact while maintaining a healthy business. These targets are meant to motivate, not to create stress.

One of the most dynamic aspects of consulting is its natural rhythm. Some weeks might be bustling with activity, while others might be quieter. We embrace these ebbs and flows because they create space for both intense, focused work and time for learning, reflection, and personal growth. This is part of our philosophy that work and life shouldn't be at odds – they should be integrated in a sustainable and energizing way.

At our core, we're built on a simple belief: when our team members flourish, our clients flourish, and ultimately, communities thrive. That's why we've created an environment that supports your growth, values your expertise, and understands that the best solutions come from people who feel empowered and energized by their work.

If you're passionate about public health and excited about the possibility of expanding your impact through consulting, we'd love to talk with you. Your experience in public health is valuable, and we're here to help you apply it in new and meaningful ways.

The problem you will help solve

Public health agencies depend on reliable, secure technology to protect communities. When the systems health departments use to manage data, coordinate programs, and respond to crises go down, response slows, and communities lose ground. At Flourish and Thrive Labs, we build and operate PH360, a public health technology platform that helps local, state, territorial, tribal, and federal agencies work faster and smarter. You will keep that platform running, secure, and ready for the people who depend on it.

What success looks like

In your first 30 days

You will learn the PH360 platform architecture, meet your teammates on the System Team, get oriented in our AWS and Salesforce environments, and complete your first sandbox configuration task.

By 90 days

You will independently manage sandbox environments, own a defined set of CI/CD pipeline workflows in GitHub Actions, and actively contribute to SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance activities.

In your first year

You will have materially improved the reliability and synchronization of our development, staging, and production environments, reduced sandbox-related access issues, and contributed to a measurable improvement in deployment pipeline efficiency.

Most of your time will be spent configuring and maintaining AWS and Salesforce environments across development, staging, and production, as well as keeping GitHub Actions workflows running smoothly. You will participate in Scaled Agile for Enterprise (SAFe) ceremonies as a member of the System Team supporting the Agile Release Train, including PI Planning. You will collaborate daily with fellow platform engineers and coordinate with System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects on platform decisions. You will monitor system health through Datadog and contribute to incident response when production issues arise.

How you will work with AI

F&T Labs uses AI tools to support engineering and operations work. You will be expected
