Government IT modernization, cloud migration, and AI-driven solutions for federal agencies
Astor & Sanders is a federal-focused IT modernization firm built on cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP) and DevSecOps tooling (GitLab CI/CD, SonarQube, Trivy, Jenkins). The engineering-heavy hiring profile—with senior engineers dominating the mix—reflects the complexity of their core workload: legacy system migrations to hybrid cloud, containerized microservices, and compliance-first deployments. Pain-point clustering around compliance, cost optimization, and security audit cycles signals their customers are risk-averse federal agencies under tight regulatory constraints.
