Cybersecurity and infrastructure services for federal and enterprise environments
August Schell is a 30-year-old cybersecurity and infrastructure firm serving federal and enterprise customers from Rockville, Maryland. The tech stack (Splunk, Kubernetes, GitLab, VMware, Cisco) and active projects reveal a company in the middle of modernization: they're integrating Splunk across enterprise monitoring, deploying zero-trust architecture, and orchestrating container infrastructure—while managing legacy complexity around federal compliance and large-scale Splunk cluster operations. Hiring is accelerating across engineering and security, skewed heavily toward senior and mid-level roles, suggesting they're scaling capability rather than backfilling.
August Schell designs and deploys cybersecurity solutions across on-premises and cloud environments for federal agencies and large enterprises. Their service portfolio spans identity management, data center and network security, cloud security, endpoint management, and operational intelligence—with recent emphasis on zero-trust modernization and big-data security. The company operates a Java/Spring-heavy backend alongside infrastructure tooling (Kubernetes, VMware, Cisco) and monitoring (Splunk). Active projects center on federal customer Splunk implementations, voice infrastructure overhauls, and system security accreditation. They maintain compliance focus around DoD requirements and are expanding capacity for complex, distributed deployments.
