USDS Engineering Director Resigns: 'This Is Not the Mission I Came to Serve'
Source: Wired
The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position.
Anne Marshall, the now former director, spent more than a decade as an engineer at Amazon before joining USDS in September 2023. In December, she was promoted to director of data science and engineering, but only served around two months in the role before resigning on Wednesday.
“Today I resigned from the US Digital Service. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be able to do this work, with this team of amazing people,” Marshall wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday evening. “Unfortunately, DOGE chose to fire one third of them last week. These cuts were shortsighted, ill-informed, and indiscriminate. The government and the American people will be worse off from the loss of these people.”

“I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” Marshall wrote. “I am leaving by choice, no forks, no forced exits, just actively, sadly, walking away. This is not the mission I came to serve.”
