Benefits

We invest in the people doing the work. These aren't recruiting slogans — they're how the team actually operates.

Unlimited Vacation

We mean it, and people use it

Take the time you need

Our team averages six weeks off per year. We encourage it — sustained delivery for federal agencies requires people who aren't burned out.

Wellness Time

No questions asked

Up to 1 week at a time

Take up to a week at a time for mental health — no doctor's note, no approval process. The work we do matters, and so does being well enough to do it.

Our Values

What drives us every day

Mission-Driven

We exist to make government more effective and responsive to citizen needs through intelligent technology.

Security First

Every solution is built with the highest security standards and government compliance requirements in mind.

Citizen-Centered

We design with the end user in mind, ensuring technology serves citizens and improves their experience.

Proven Excellence

Our track record speaks for itself with successful deployments across multiple government agencies.

Real Talk

Federal AI and digital services work is complex — ATOs, compliance, interagency politics. We build the kind of team that can navigate that and still ship.

That means hiring experienced people, giving them real ownership, and staying out of their way. Clear expectations, direct communication, and the trust that comes from working with adults who've done this before.

Veteran-founded, mission-driven, and serious about the work — without the overhead that makes government contracting miserable.
