Mission
Our Values
Since DigitalService is growing rapidly, it’s especially important to us that everyone on the team feels at ease and knows how we treat each other. Our company values show what we stand for, how we address challenges, and which principles guide our daily work.
Focus on impact
We solve real problems and always start by understanding the problem. How we work is set. But what we build, we develop step by step. We know that we have to prioritize to have an impact. One of our guiding questions is therefore, “What are we saying no to in order to say yes to this?”. What counts is the right outcome and the measurable added value we create.
Care to challenge
Because we are passionate about working for a digital Germany, we are not content with simple answers. We consistently and empathetically challenge existing standards, structures, work results, and behaviors to continuously improve them. We give each other both positive and critical feedback as equals – specifically and constructively. Our goal: the best possible solution.
Take ownership
We take ownership for our tasks, responsibilities, and the results we produce – from start to finish. This means more to us than just checking off a to-do list: one part of our responsibilities is to proactively involve key stakeholders, to clarify, and to align on expectations. We drive things forward, make decisions, and ensure we learn from them. As an organization, we create the necessary clarity in roles and structures.
Open by default
We share decisions and findings as well as the results of our work openly and transparently by default – both internally and externally. Transparency not only nurtures trust: we are convinced that an open approach to our work also encourages a proactive exchange, thus producing better results.
Embrace diverse perspectives
We are convinced that we can only produce good results by understanding, considering, and promoting diverse perspectives. In our work, we therefore look at challenges from multiple angles. Targeted to specific groups and with the diversity of the population in mind, we advocate for solutions that simplify life for everyone in Germany.
Dare to learn
The best solutions are created in practice, not on paper. That's why we try things out and learn from them instead of overthinking them. We focus on pragmatic solutions that generate quick insights. Our attitude and approach are characterized by humility, curiosity, and openness.
How we work
In addition to our own product development, we are advancing the digital transformation of public administration by advocating for better framework conditions for digital product development.
To achieve this, we focus on what really matters and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that the vision of a digital Germany with a modern public administration becomes a reality more quickly. Initially at the federal level, but then quickly in every local government office thanks to the momentum and ideas created. Our motto: Change through delivery.
Insights
Petya, Agile Coach
I help organizations to better navigate a fast-moving, complex world and teams to become more effective.
Jörg, Project Lead
Just because I'm a Project Lead doesn't mean there's a hierarchy – in the sense of thinking at the top and doing at the bottom.
Leonie, Software Engineer
To close existing gaps and prevent future ones, we need more women in tech who are visible and can inspire others.
“Berlin's Best: Employers and Training Companies 2025”
According to a study conducted by the social science institute Schad GmbH on behalf of the Tagesspiegel newspaper, DigitalService is currently one of the top employers in Berlin. The evaluation was based on aspects such as working time models, health protection, benefits, new work, equal opportunities, and development opportunities.

We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. Therefore, we welcome all applications – regardless of religion and belief, nationality and (ethnic or social) origin, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, as well as physical and intellectual abilities.
