Cyber analytics and infrastructure modernization for defense and government
AnaVation is a 51–200 person engineering and security consultancy in Chantilly, VA, founded in 2013, serving government and defense contractors. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward engineering (29 roles) and security (24 roles), with a seniority skew toward senior and lead positions—reflecting the complexity of their customer workloads and compliance-heavy environments. Active projects span vulnerability management, cloud infrastructure automation, cyber threat fusion analysis, and legacy RHEL/Elasticsearch/WSUS modernization, while pain points cluster around interoperability, ATO maintenance, and cloud-to-on-prem migration complexity.
