Steely operates a lean, engineering-focused team (5 engineers, 1 security hire in last 30 days) building custom network and embedded solutions for government and defense contractors. The stack—Python, Linux, network analysis tools (Wireshark, SolarWinds, Nagios), and reverse-engineering platforms (IDA Pro, Ghidra)—reflects deep infrastructure and security work. Active hiring across intern and senior levels suggests either skill-gap mitigation or rapid scaling on a fixed contract pipeline.
Steely delivers custom network solutions, VSAT systems, and embedded engineering for customers operating critical infrastructure. Based in Reston, Virginia since 2013, the company works with government agencies and defense contractors on network architecture, security hardening, and bespoke software integration. Current projects center on prototype system integration, lab environments, and network security controls (VLAN segmentation, ACLs, VPN). The team is small (11–50 employees) and hiring aggressively to expand enterprise delivery capability.
