Defense and federal IT services with infrastructure automation and PKI focus
Strategic Data Systems is a defense contractor providing IT infrastructure, cyber security, and engineering support to DoD and federal agencies since 1997. The stack — Red Hat, Ansible, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure, plus PKI tooling — reflects a government-compliance-first architecture. Active projects in Red Hat Satellite automation, PKI implementation, and DISA STIG compliance, paired with pain points around security standards and compliance reporting, show a company scaling infrastructure security work; the hiring mix skews senior (10 of 15 open roles) and security-focused, typical of federal contract work where clearance and domain expertise drive placement.
Strategic Data Systems delivers IT infrastructure, cyber security, and engineering services to the U.S. Department of Defense, other federal agencies, and commercial clients. The company operates from Keller, Texas with 201–500 employees and has maintained federal contract work since its founding in 1997. Core competencies span system administration, database administration, security operations, and infrastructure automation.
