About Us

At Mercedes-Benz, we don't just build cars, we create great software. We develop tomorrow's mobility together in our product lines, pushing the digitization of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG forward.

IT is our passion, and we move toward a bright future, sometimes quickly, sometimes creatively but always together.

We believe in integrity, trust, and transparency as part of our flexible work culture, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and the learning process, making mistakes, and achieving continuous progress together in all products we create and develop within the Mercedes-Benz Group.
