DoD contractor delivering program management and logistics for aviation and space portfolios
ACT1 Federal is a defense contractor operating across aviation, space/intelligence, and international cooperation portfolios for DoD and allied customers. The tech stack is enterprise-legacy (Oracle E-Business Suite, SharePoint, Microsoft Office suite) with modern collaboration tools (Azure, Teams, GitLab, Jira) — a typical pattern for government contractors managing compliance and financial workflows alongside engineering teams. Security and finance dominate hiring (27 open roles combined), reflecting the compliance intensity of defense work; active projects span F-35 database administration, CBRN analytics, and Army FMS systems, while pain points cluster around budget execution, funds distribution, and organizational efficiency.
