Defense contractor providing program management, engineering, and cybersecurity services
KAIROS is a woman-owned defense contractor (51–200 employees, California MD) delivering program management, engineering, cybersecurity, and logistics to U.S. military customers. The tech stack is Microsoft-heavy (Office 365, SAP, Azure AD, Project, Power BI) with no active adopts or replacements — typical of legacy defense environments. Hiring is accelerating with 17 roles posted in 30 days, concentrated in engineering (16 roles) and security (4 roles), and the project portfolio centers on Navy platforms (H-53 helicopters, EA-18G Growler integration) and vulnerability management, indicating deepening security and sustainment mandates.
Notable leadership hires: Vulnerability Management Lead
KAIROS, Inc. provides life-cycle program management, acquisition, engineering, cybersecurity, logistics, additive manufacturing, and training services to U.S. defense and space customers. Founded in 2013 as a woman-owned small business, the company operates as a trusted-advisor model, emphasizing ethical practices and quantifiable program outcomes. Active workstreams include integrated master plan development, H-53 heavy lift helicopter program office support, life cycle sustainment planning, and Navy ERP data integration. The organization is mid-career-weighted (20 mid-level, 5 senior, 2 junior) and currently expanding engineering and security headcount. Pain points center on legacy system fragmentation (outdated computer systems, Navy ERP data errors), supply chain efficiency, and obsolescence tracking—common friction in defense sustainment contracts.
Microsoft-centric: Office 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint Online), SAP, Azure AD, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, Microsoft Project, MATLAB, and ACAS. No active technology replacements or migrations underway.
Active projects include H-53 heavy lift helicopter program office, EA-18G Growler integration (NGJ-MB/LB), Navy vulnerability and patch management (PMA-268), and Navy ERP data migration to SharePoint Online.
