Federal IT consulting with deep government expertise and security-first engineering
Edgewater Federal Solutions is a government-focused IT consulting firm built around federal compliance and security operations. The stack is enterprise-grade (Active Directory, Splunk, SQL Server, VMware) with adoption of GitLab and migration away from SharePoint and Enterprise Vault — typical of modernizing legacy federal infrastructure. Hiring skews heavily toward senior engineers (56 of 112 open roles), reflecting client demand for experienced specialists rather than entry-level scaling, and pain points cluster around legacy system maintenance, authentication gaps, and audit readiness—all hallmarks of federal IT environments where stability and compliance outweigh velocity.
Notable leadership hires: ERP Program Director, Training and Compliance Lead, Reporting and Communications Lead, Training Compliance Lead
Founded in 2002, Edgewater Federal Solutions serves federal agencies and defense contractors with program management, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and application development. The company operates from Frederick, Maryland, with 501–1,000 employees; the majority hold or have held top-secret clearances. Work spans enterprise system integrations, policy support, governance, and infrastructure operations across multiple cabinet-level agencies, particularly the Department of Energy. Current project focus includes lean portfolio management implementation, authentication systems (Denodo, Tableau), custom security policies in Java, compliance assessments, and modernization of legacy endpoints—balancing the need to upgrade aging infrastructure while maintaining strict security and audit compliance.
