Why Join Us
The work that each CAO employee does impacts the Members of Congress's ability to perform their Constitutional duties in some shape or form. Hear in the words of our employees about what brings them to work every day, and what they are looking for in the person who could potentially work next to them in the future:
"We definitely want to see people come work for the organization who have customer service at their heart. The entire purpose of the organization is to serve the Member of Congress's needs."

"I love being a woman in a managerial role within the House. I think especially in technology and cybersecurity, there are probably more men than women but we bring a different perspective, a different level of organization, a different lens, a different empathy when it comes to security."
Addie Adeniji
Information Assurance Director
Office of the Chief Administrative Officer
House Information Resources
"It's a little more challenging working here because we're a government entity so there are quite a few security considerations that have to be applied here. If something is released to the consumers, it takes several months for us to vet it and ensure we can provide the same customer experience but with all the securities. We don't use anything out of the box here, for that reason. It's a little more challenging and rewarding."
