Senior Platform Operations Specialist (f/m/d)

Unsere Mission

We are at the beginning of the era of Government Technology (“Gov Tech”).

New technologies are rapidly transforming government and public administration.

The scale of this change will be more far-reaching than any previous phase of administrative transformation.

It is a shared responsibility of government and the tech industry to harness the potential of these new digital technologies to address the major challenges of our time and make our state tech-ready.

Unser Leitbild

We believe in the transformative power of new technologies to modernize government, administration, and society.

To this end, we make it easier for government and administration to adopt and scale digital technologies and solutions, build strong partnerships between government and the tech sector, and are committed to secure use of technology.

At the same time, we create the operational and organizational foundations needed to bring these solutions into sustainable, efficient, and scalable live operation.

Über uns

Gov Tech Deutschland is a joint initiative of the federal government, the German states, and the tech industry.

Since its founding in 2022, Gov Tech Deutschland has made digital innovations and technologies accessible, scalable, and applicable for government and public administration.

Über uns

Gov Tech Deutschland is a joint initiative of the federal government, the German states, and the tech industry.

Since its founding in 2022, Gov Tech Deutschland has made digital innovations and technologies accessible, scalable, and applicable for government and public administration.

As the world’s first organization of its kind, we are building a cross-cutting development, testing, and scaling environment in Germany for digital solutions and other technologies for the federal government, states, and municipalities — as well as for other areas of the public sector such as healthcare or national security.

At the center of our work is the development and operation of platforms for public administration (Deutschlandplattform) and healthcare (MEDI: CUS), through which digital solutions can be provided, integrated, and scaled in a standardized way.

These platforms enable federal, state, and local government bodies, as well as healthcare institutions, to use and reuse technologies efficiently and integrate them into their existing structures.

Our innovation ecosystem includes, alongside the federal government and the states, more than 150 renowned organizations and institutions from the (tech) industry, public administration, research, and civil society as supporting members.

Gov Tech Deutschland develops and implements concrete, scalable, and productizable innovation and technology projects between the tech industry and the public sector, pilots their application, develops reuse models, builds one of the world’s leading Gov Tech ecosystems, and makes government and public administration tech-ready.
