Berlin-based digital innovation foundation building smart-city and open-data infrastructure
Technologiestiftung Berlin runs a containerized infrastructure stack (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible) deployed across AWS and OpenStack, grounded in open-source tooling (n8n, Node-RED, Keycloak, PostgreSQL). The engineering-forward hiring profile (4 engineers, 1 ops role) combined with active cloud migration and BSI compliance work suggests the foundation is hardening its platform infrastructure for public-sector adoption — a shift from prototype toward production governance.
Technologiestiftung Berlin is an independent nonprofit foundation established in 1994, headquartered in Berlin with 51–200 employees. The organization works on digitalization projects across smart-city infrastructure, open data, IoT, AI, and digital education — framed as initiatives demonstrating how digital tools can make Berlin more open, sustainable, and efficient. Current work spans urban sensing (gieß den kiez), civic participation tools (parla), and shared IT capacity for cultural institutions, typically operating as pilot programs with citywide or regional visibility.
