Advanced analytics, autonomous systems, and sensor processing for defense and intelligence
Metron builds analytics, autonomy, and sensor-processing software for U.S. government and defense customers. The tech stack—Java, Python, C++, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, gRPC, OpenGL/WebGL—reflects a mature, systems-heavy engineering practice focused on real-time data processing and visualization. Active hiring across engineering, security, and ops, paired with projects spanning algorithm development, UI components, and large-scale defense systems integration, signals execution on near-term customer deliverables while managing contract scope and schedule risk.
