DCCA is a veteran-owned federal contractor (since 1982) with 201–500 employees focused on IT services, cybersecurity, and systems modernization for U.S. government agencies. The tech stack is enterprise-grade and mission-critical: AWS, Kubernetes, Java/WebLogic, Linux, plus security and validation tools (Nessus, FreeIPA). Hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineers (78 of 150 open roles) working on full-stack applications, cloud migrations, and satellite data analysis—indicating mature, complex project delivery rather than product-led scaling. Pain-point data reveals the operational reality: legacy-to-cloud transitions, complex automation, uptime guarantees (99.96%), and backup-power resilience are live problems, not roadmap items.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Architect, Chief Scrum Master
DCCA delivers IT services, systems engineering, software testing, cybersecurity, and systems modernization to federal agencies and government organizations. The company operates across three major service lines: core IT infrastructure and operations; software development and full-stack applications (including cloud environments); and specialized domains like satellite data analysis and emerging-technology research. Work is structured around prime contracts and subcontracts, with significant emphasis on IV&V (independent validation and verification), IA compliance, and schedule/cost control. The organization is U.S.-based (headquarters in Ellicott City, MD) and hires exclusively in the United States.
