Defense and intelligence software systems integrator with cloud modernization focus
NextGen Federal Systems builds mission-critical software and systems for defense and intelligence agencies, with a portfolio rooted in C4ISR, geospatial, and signals-intelligence workflows. The tech stack reveals a heavy Cisco networking footprint paired with Azure Government Cloud and AWS, while active projects (OpenShift adoption, Elasticsearch migration, mainframe-to-cloud refactors) signal a wholesale shift from legacy monoliths toward containerized, cloud-native architectures. Engineering-heavy hiring (34 open roles) and a senior-skewed workforce (36 senior-level openings) suggest the company is scaling delivery on complex modernization contracts rather than headcount churn.
NextGen Federal Systems is a Morgantown, West Virginia–based IT solutions and services provider founded in 2011, serving the Department of Defense, Federal Government, and select commercial customers. The company operates across 201–500 employees with offices near Aberdeen, Ft. Meade, Dayton, and O'Fallon, and specializes in software development, systems engineering, cyber security, and data management for mission-critical environments. Current work spans signals-intelligence modernization, multi-intelligence data correlation, joint targeting platforms, and large-scale infrastructure transitions from on-premises systems to cloud (AWS and Azure Government Cloud). NextGen holds ISO 9001, CMMI-DEV Level 3, and CMMI-SVC Level 3 certifications.
