Cybersecurity services with cloud-native threat detection and network defense
Pendulum is a 2–10-person security consultancy in the DC metro area built around cloud infrastructure (AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS) and polyglot backend services (Java, Python, Node.js, Go). The team is actively hiring senior engineers—three roles posted in the last 30 days—to scale delivery of cloud-hosted Android emulation and VPN tunnel infrastructure, suggesting they're moving beyond advisory into managed security operations.
Pendulum provides cybersecurity services to public and private enterprises, with specialized capabilities in intrusion analysis, malware detection, network monitoring, and compliance. Founded in 2016 and based in Alexandria, Virginia, the firm operates throughout North America. Their service model spans security assessments, continuous network monitoring, log management, and cloud security implementation. The technical backbone is AWS-centric (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, API Gateway, CodePipeline) paired with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD) and modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue), indicating a shift toward building and hosting detection and response tools rather than pure services delivery.
