Colorado Digital Service
The Colorado Digital Service is a diverse cross-functional team of senior engineers, designers, and product managers, and procurement specialists serving limited "tours of civic service" (six months to two years) in government.
We work alongside dedicated civil servants in the Office of Information Technology (OIT) and across state agencies to develop and improve user-centered solutions to Colorado's most pressing technical challenges.
Listen to Director Kelly Taylor describe what it means to work in civic technology and how excited he is to welcome more of you to the work.
