Federal technology contractor specializing in data, AI, and cybersecurity solutions
ECS is a $1.2B federal technology contractor with 4,000 employees serving defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies. The tech stack reflects a modernization-in-flight: heavy on legacy systems (Windows, Oracle, PeopleSoft) while actively adopting cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Helm) and identity/access platforms (Saviynt, SailPoint, ForgeRock). Hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineering and security roles, and projects cluster around continuous diagnostics, CI/CD pipelines, and Elastic-based monitoring — indicating sustained pressure to upgrade compliance posture and incident response across federal workloads.
