Cyber security and data engineering for government and defence
Hexegic is a UK-based cyber and data services firm built around dual engineering and data science tracks. The stack (Rust, Go, Python, Spark, Terraform, Docker on AWS/Linux) reflects infrastructure-heavy work—network appliances, ETL pipelines, and cloud deployments—while the 7-person data team signals substantial analytics and transformation workloads. Active hiring is concentrated in data and engineering roles, with documented pain points around cloud deployment stability and platform migration, suggesting they are scaling internal tooling while maintaining client-delivery capacity.
Hexegic operates as a consultancy serving UK government and defence organizations, as well as large private-sector enterprises. The firm combines cyber security services (risk assessment, incident response, managed security) with data science and engineering capabilities. Core project work spans network security appliances, data pipeline development, cloud infrastructure deployment, and ETL activities—often for military and defence clients. The company employs 51–200 people across London headquarters, with mid-level engineering and data specialists comprising the bulk of active hiring.
Hexegic's core stack includes Rust, Go, Python, and Spark for backend work; Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure-as-code; Docker for containerization; and AWS for cloud hosting, running on Linux/POSIX.
Projects include Linux-based network security appliances, Spark cluster migration, ETL pipeline and data foundation integration, cloud services deployment, and user-facing applications—primarily for military and defence customers.
