Defense acquisition data platform unifying requirements, budgets, contracts, and vendors
Obviant aggregates fragmented national security acquisition data into unified, queryable intelligence. The tech stack—PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, Python, R, Tableau, Looker—reflects a data-heavy infrastructure focused on real-time ingestion and visualization. Active projects span data source integration, pipeline optimization, and ML solutions, while the pain-point list (disparate sources, manual workflows, data lag) directly maps to the product's core value: eliminating the manual work and delays that slow defense procurement decisions.
Obviant provides a data platform purpose-built for U.S. Department of Defense and related national security acquisition teams. The company consolidates acquisition intelligence from requirements documents, budget appropriations, contract awards, and vendor data into a single queryable system. Founded in 2021 and based in Washington, D.C., Obviant operates a lean, distributed organization with 11–50 employees split across engineering, data, product, and sales functions. The platform serves mid-market and enterprise government buyers where procurement speed and transparency directly impact national security outcomes.
PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Python, R, Tableau, and Looker. The mix reflects a data-warehouse-first architecture with multi-cloud deployment and analytics-layer tools for real-time insights.
Core projects include integrating new data sources, expanding the data platform, building scalable pipelines, optimizing data models, deploying AI/ML solutions, and developing data visualization tools for defense acquisition workflows.
