Too often, outdated tools, systems, and practices make interacting with the government cumbersome and frustrating.
Over the last decade, the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) has brought together the best engineering, product, design, procurement and operational leaders to change our government’s approach to technology. Since then, hundreds of mission-driven professionals have completed tours of service, furthering the USDS mission to deliver better government services to the American people through technology and design.
-We’ve grown from less than a dozen staffers to more than 200 today. One of our goals is to build a workforce that reflects the people we serve, in line with ongoing efforts across the federal Government. We believe that fostering diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility (DEIA) is vital to our ability to imagine and build digital solutions that solve everyday challenges people face. And we’ve made significant strides to advance DEIA, to include offering remote and hybrid work, hiring our first full-time DEIA role, creating a DEIA Council, initiating affinity groups, examining our hiring processes, relying on data to promote equitable recruitment strategies, and investing in equity and accessibility capacity—both among our own staff and in our project work with agency partners. While we have made progress, this work is never done.
