Defense tech platform for data pipelines, zero trust, and ML systems
Base-2 Solutions builds data and security platforms for forward-deployed defense operations. The stack is polyglot (Java, C#, C++, Python, Scala) across classical infrastructure tools (Oracle, Jenkins, GitHub, Jira), signaling a mature integration-heavy environment rather than a greenfield startup. The hiring mix is overwhelmingly senior engineers (43 of 58 technical roles), with a small security cluster (9 headcount), pointing to a organization scaling specialized defense workloads—not headcount growth—and wrestling with legacy-system data ingestion and zero-trust architecture.
Base-2 Solutions is an SBA-certified woman-owned small business providing engineering and analytics support to national security missions. Headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, the company operates across 51–200 employees with core technical depth in cyber security, data analytics, cloud computing, and signal processing. Active projects span operationalizing data pipelines, deploying ML systems, zero-trust authentication platforms, and migrating legacy data sources to cloud infrastructure. The organization serves defense and space manufacturing customers facing federal compliance, identity management complexity, and the challenge of modernizing mission-critical systems.
Java, C#, C++, Python, Scala, JavaScript, Go, and Ruby for development; Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, and VS Code for IDEs; Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB for databases; Jenkins, GitHub, Jira, and ServiceNow for DevOps and operations.
Core projects include zero-trust integration platforms, operationalizing data pipelines, deploying Python-native ML systems, cloud architecture modernization, and data ingestion from legacy systems to support defense operations.
