About us
The United States Digital Service (USDS) is a group of mission-driven professionals passionate about delivering better government services to the public. Millions of people interact with government services every day. Veterans apply for benefits. Students compare financial aid options. Small business owners seek loans. Too often, outdated tools and complicated systems make these interactions cumbersome and frustrating. Enter USDS. We collaborate with public servants throughout the government to help deliver a better government experience to people. We bring best practices from various disciplines, including engineering, product, design, procurement, data science, operations, talent, and communications. Coming from a range of cultural, geographical, and ethnic backgrounds, USDSers—as we call ourselves—represent a myriad of intersecting identities, just like the people we serve. We're curious about understanding people's needs and are excited to use our short tours of service to make a positive impact. We hire talented professionals for tours of services ranging from three months up to four years, but the average length of service is about two years. Will you join us?

Involving the intended users in the development process is the best way to ensure that services are practical, efficient, easy to use, fair, and safe. Our latest blog, "User Research and the Paperwork Reduction Act," provides practical insights on the importance of user research and how and when to integrate it into a project.
