DevSecOps and AI infrastructure for federal and commercial cloud workloads
Rackner is a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider and CNCF member building DevSecOps tooling and AI infrastructure across public cloud, private cloud, and edge environments. The stack is heavily infrastructure-focused (Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS GovCloud, ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD) with deep Python and Java application layers—a pattern typical of organizations operating in regulated federal environments. Active hiring skews toward senior engineers and technical leadership while velocity has slowed, suggesting either capacity constraints or a shift toward higher-complexity program execution over headcount growth.
Notable leadership hires: Business Development Lead, Technical Lead

The sales and business development team is actively scaling to support federal capture and pipeline growth.
