Our department "Digital Services" is the digital backbone of taxation. Everything revolves around specialist applications, operations, projects, support, IT security, as well as change and release management. Over one million private individuals and companies entrust us with their tax data every year and expect our online portals to be reliably available. At the same time, over 2,500 cantonal and municipal employees rely on our approximately 90 specialist applications. And this is exactly where you can make an important contribution with your expertise.
