Cybersecurity and compliance consulting for government and defense contractors
J5 Consulting delivers information assurance and compliance solutions to federal and commercial clients, with a heavy engineering focus (23 of 35 open roles in engineering). The stack—C#, Java, Python, React, Spring Boot across AWS and Azure—supports infrastructure modernization and secure cloud deployments. Active migration to SharePoint and away from Windows signals a broader shift toward cloud-native operations; pain points around legacy system maintenance and compliance scaling suggest clients are moving from on-premise NIST/FISMA implementations to cloud-based governance.
