Defense contractor providing systems engineering and technical advisory to U.S. government
Compass is a 51–200-person defense and intelligence contractor serving U.S. government agencies and military commands from four operational hubs (Winchester VA, Huntsville AL, Omaha NE, plus customer sites). The tech stack—PRISM, Red Hat, AWS, Kubernetes, ServiceNow, DOORS Next—reflects a systems-heavy organization managing large acquisition and integration programs. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineers (7 roles) over mid-level, suggesting they're scaling complex technical leadership for multi-cloud and CI/CD modernization efforts rather than expanding headcount broadly.
Compass provides Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA), Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), and Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Combatant Commands, military service commands, intelligence agencies, and acquisition program management offices. The company operates as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, with active projects spanning IT portfolio management, acquisition document preparation, lifecycle acquisition support, ground architecture development, and hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructure design. Pain points center on modernizing legacy systems, managing concurrent technology initiatives, and improving architectural resilience—typical of a contractor scaling technical depth across distributed government customer portfolios.
Compass uses PRISM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, AWS, Kubernetes, OpenShift, ServiceNow, Jira, DOORS Next, Oracle, SQL Server, MagicDraw, and Dynatrace across systems engineering and IT portfolio management workloads.
Compass is headquartered in Winchester, Virginia, with additional operational locations in Huntsville, Alabama; Omaha, Nebraska; and on-site at customer locations nationwide.
