- **Project Management & Engineering**: Large-scale infrastructure project management for federal facilities (BIA Division of Facilities Management) — civil, electrical, and architectural engineering. 10 FTE team managing 70+ active projects.
- **IT & Cybersecurity**: Security Operations Center (SOC) analysis, firewall engineering, and cybersecurity operations for mission-critical government systems (e.g., Export-Import Bank).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Native American-owned 8(a) certification** — provides preferential contracting opportunities with federal agencies.
- **Focus on hard-to-fill positions in remote/frontier locations** — fills roles in areas where other contractors cannot operate (e.g., facilities accessible only by helicopter).

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven work**: Employees contribute directly to national security, homeland security, and healthcare for Native American communities.
- **Rapid growth environment**: Joining a young, fast-growing company (founded 2022, 266% headcount growth) offers significant career advancement opportunities.
- **Remote & frontier locations**: Many roles are in rural or remote areas (AZ, NM, SD, MN, NE, ND, CO, VA) — ideal for those seeking meaningful work outside major metros.
- **Culture**: Small, agile team with a focus on operational excellence and federal compliance. Leadership brings 15+ years of national security and cyber intelligence experience.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but as a federal contractor, benefits typically include competitive salary, health insurance, and retirement plans. Roles may offer relocation support for remote postings.
