Defense-focused cybersecurity for infrastructure protection and compliance
Zetier is a 51–200 person security-first engineering shop in Arlington building low-level defensive systems (C/C++, ARM, x86, cryptographic primitives like AES-GCM and ECDSA). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward senior and principal engineers in security roles, with active projects around zero-trust architecture and infrastructure automation — a pattern that aligns with federal contracting (FAR/DFAR compliance, multi-year OCO/DCO programs). The tech stack shape (reverse-engineering tools like IDA Pro and Binary Ninja, bare-metal capabilities like U-Boot, container orchestration) points to a company managing critical infrastructure defense rather than consumer-facing security products.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Lead
Zetier develops cybersecurity products for U.S. defense and critical infrastructure. The company operates in the federal contracting space, managing multi-year programs and large contract vehicles while maintaining FAR/DFAR compliance. Their engineering footprint spans system-level security (kernel hardening, cryptographic implementations, firmware), network defense (zero-trust, OpenVPN/WireGuard, iptables), and containerized infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible). The organization is structured around security-specialized teams and runs primarily out of Arlington, Virginia.
Core stack includes C/C++, Python, ARM/x86 architecture, cryptography (AES-GCM, SHA-256, ECDSA), reverse-engineering tools (IDA Pro, Binary Ninja), container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes), and network tools (OpenVPN, WireGuard, iptables).
Current projects include zero-trust architecture implementation, infrastructure automation, and managing large federal contracts (multi-year OCO/DCO programs). The company also leads prime proposal development.
