National security data and cloud engineering for US government missions
Edgesource builds data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and AI/ML systems for US intelligence, defense, and homeland security agencies. The stack reveals a government-scale operation: DOORS Next Generation (requirements management), Tableau (analytics), SAR/DoDAF (defense standards), Kubernetes/Docker (containerized deployments), AWS, and SQL Server. Pain points cluster around infrastructure modernization—migrating legacy on-prem systems to cloud, managing large data volumes, and optimizing AWS costs—while project activity shows heavy lift on satellite ground segments, imaging capabilities, and data architectures for analytics. Senior-heavy hiring (mostly engineering and data roles) reflects domain complexity and clearance intensity.
