Defense IT and cloud infrastructure services for federal agencies
Second-61 is a small federal contractor delivering IT infrastructure, cloud migration, and security solutions to U.S. government defense and energy sectors. The stack—Azure Government Cloud, AWS, Kubernetes, ServiceNow, FedRAMP compliance tooling—reflects deep federal procurement and compliance requirements. Active hiring across ops, support, and engineering (accelerating velocity, 10 roles posted in 30 days) paired with a sharp focus on zero-trust architecture, DoD RMF compliance, and talent pipeline building signals aggressive scaling into larger government program contracts.
Second-61 is a privately held federal contractor based in Canon City, Colorado, founded in 2018. The company provides IT services, project delivery, security solutions, and infrastructure work primarily to U.S. Department of Defense and federal energy/environmental agencies. The technical surface spans cloud migration and re-platforming (AWS, Azure Government Cloud, Terraform, CloudFormation), infrastructure-as-code adoption, zero-trust architecture implementation, and authority-to-operate (ATO) activities. The business operates under FedRAMP and DoD compliance frameworks, with documented pain points around FAR/DFARS regulation adherence, DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF) maintenance, and scaling delivery capacity across large government programs.
Primary stack: Microsoft Office, Windows, Active Directory, Azure Government Cloud, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CloudFormation, ServiceNow, Jira, GitLab, BeyondTrust, and FedRAMP-certified security tooling.
Current focus: zero-trust architecture, DoD RMF compliance, cloud migration and re-platforming, infrastructure-as-code, managed shared services, and building talent pipeline for U.S. government defense IT and analytics roles.
