Peraton is a 10,000+ person defense contractor operating across space, intelligence, and civil infrastructure. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward senior engineers (971 of 1,657 open roles) and security staff (352 roles), with active migration away from legacy databases (Oracle, SQL Server) toward cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and modern containerization (Docker). The project list—national airspace modernization, air traffic control systems, mission planning centers—and pain-point concentration on compliance and legacy system modernization reveal a company scaling around large federal programs that demand both technical refresh and regulatory rigor.
