Federal IT services spanning cloud, cybersecurity, and legacy modernization
Akumen delivers IT services to U.S. federal agencies, with a technical footprint built on Linux, Windows, PostgreSQL, and orchestration tools (Puppet, Ansible, Chef), complemented by Microsoft enterprise stack (Intune, SharePoint, Office, Project). Active engineering hiring at senior and lead levels, concentrated on cross-domain applications, compliance procedures (C&A), mobile app vetting, and .NET modernization—reflecting ongoing pressure to integrate custom systems with government-standard GOTS/COTS platforms while maintaining federal security posture.
Akumen is a privately held IT services firm founded in 1989, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, serving U.S. federal government agencies.
