Independent Software, Inc. Tech Stack
Cyber intelligence and mission systems for federal defense
Independent Software is a 19-year-old defense contractor (Woman-Owned Small Business, veteran-heavy workforce) building cyber products, intelligence platforms, and mission-critical applications for federal customers. The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-and-modern posture: Java, C++, and Hadoop for analytics; Windows and Linux for ops; but actively adopting Microsoft 365, Kubernetes, and NIST RMF—indicating a shift toward cloud compliance and containerized deployments. Security hiring dominates (27 of 65 roles), with engineering and support roles filling gaps in system accreditation and data migration work, suggesting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while maintaining DoD compliance.
