Mission-focused cyber and systems engineering for US defense and intelligence
OPS Consulting is a 51–200-person engineering and security firm serving US government and defense missions since 1999. The tech stack reflects deep systems work: HPC tools (LSF, SLURM, Lustre, GPFS), low-level networking (sockets, tcpdump, Wireshark), and security monitoring (Splunk, ArcSight, Kibana, Carbon Black, Suricata). Current projects center on AI integration into cyber tools, secure network boundaries, and CNO (cyber network operations) frameworks—suggesting active modernization of legacy mission systems while managing steep HPC and cybersecurity operational debt.
OPS Consulting engineers software and systems for US national security and intelligence agencies, drawing on two decades of mission-critical deployments. The firm combines software engineering (full lifecycle from requirements through installation), cyber operations, and systems engineering expertise. With 17 engineering roles and 11 security positions actively staffed, the organization is heavily weighted toward technical depth and seniority. Work spans HPC environments (supporting SLURM, Lustre, and multi-OS heterogeneous clusters), network-layer security, and emerging AI-driven detection and automation—reflecting both the complexity of legacy infrastructure and the push toward modernized, AI-enhanced operations.
Core stack includes HPC tools (LSF, SLURM, Lustre, GPFS), security/monitoring (Splunk, ArcSight, Kibana, Carbon Black, Suricata), networking (tcpdump, Wireshark), systems (Red Hat, SUSE, Docker), and languages (C, C++, Java, Python, Assembly, Perl).
Current projects include AI integration into cyber tools, CNO data flows and tasking frameworks, secure network boundary design, layer 3/4 access controls, and automated workflows for intelligence community operations.
