Cobec is a 51–200-person systems engineering and analytics firm founded in 2007, headquartered in Washington, DC. Their stack (Primavera P6, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Angular, Docker/Kubernetes) reflects a mature backend-focused engineering org building mission-critical dashboards and program-management tools. The hiring mix—seven engineers across mid, senior, and principal levels against one finance hire—signals engineering-led growth. Active projects cluster heavily around national airspace system modernization and hardware deployment, with stated pain points around AI literacy and long-term portfolio health, suggesting they're scaling analysis and decision-support capabilities for complex federal programs.
