Do What Others

Can't

At Data Machines, we are on the leading edge powering the discovery of data. But to do that, we first had to empower our people. We know the GovCon landscape where talent can get overlooked at larger systems integrators, stuck on a treadmill of “butts-in-seats” contracting. That isn’t us.

When you join Data Machines, you aren’t just filling out a timesheet. You are joining a team of “doers,” technical experts given the freedom to take on challenges, test the latest technology, and solve real-world, mission-critical problems.

We are a veteran-founded, specialized solutions provider purpose built for agility and impact. We thrive on solving the challenges others can’t, combining world-class engineering, AI, and DevSecOps to ensure mission success for the U.S. national security and research communities as well as commercial innovators

Making the Difference

Sure, we work on cool stuff, but we do it for a serious reason.

Our work directly supports the warfighters, operators, and analysts protecting national security. Whether building cloud infrastructure, analyzing complex datasets, or deploying defensive cyber solutions, we empower our clients to focus on their mission.

When you work here, you go home knowing your code, your research, and your engineering made a difference to our nation.

Culture: Smart People, No Red Tape

We’ve built a culture where smart people come to do their best work without the bureaucracy getting in the way. Whether in our operations team or deployed on a project we are highly communicative, collaborative, and deeply supportive. Our lovable mascot, DataBot, is a perfect example of this. They work hard, but you will never see a frown on that adorable little face.

Be Innovative, Become Empowered

We don’t hand you a script; we hand you a challenge. We value the willingness to learn and the commitment to trying things that haven’t been done before. We believe “lessons learned” are steppingstones to the next breakthrough. You will work with the latest and greatest tools to transform raw data into critical insights.

Connected & Inclusive

From monthly lunch-and-learns and book clubs to our annual fly-in Holiday Party where we bring our remote teammates from across the country to our headquarters in the National Capital Region, we prioritize connection. As one team member put it, “The work is challenging, but the people are what make us Data Machines.”

Growth Oriented

We are serious about your trajectory. Unlike companies where you may hit a growth ceiling, we have structured career tracks designed to help make you a technical leader in your role. We provide the ladder; you make the climb.

Benefits & Perks

We know that to attract the best talent, we have to offer more than just a paycheck. We invest in the whole person:

  • Top-Tier Health: 100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision for employees and 80% paid for dependents.
  • Life Insurance: 1x annual salary and premiums paid for
  • Time to Recharge: 15 days of PTO, scaling to 20 days after 5 years’ experience, plus 11 Paid Holidays.

  • Shared Success: Incentive Bonuses paid when we are all growing.
  • Recognition: Peer-nominated Spot Bonus program ($150-$300 bonuses for great work).
  • Wellness: $60/month wellness benefit towards gym memberships, etc.
  • “Nerd Bonus”: A unique end-of-year bonus based on tenure, specifically designed for you to purchase tech or professional development equipment to fuel your passion at work.

Hearing From The Team

I've had an 18 year career that has spanned across the miliary, IC, DoD and Industry cultures. Data Machines is the first company I've been to where toxic behavior is not just discouraged, but somehow doesn't exist in the first place! We have a myriad of different people here - different personalities, skillsets, experiences, education, beliefs - and we manage to treat each other with professionalism, respect, courtesy and friendship. We coexist and work together towards the same mission unlike any organization I've ever been a part of. That is a working environment I think everyone hopes for but is uncommon to actually find. You'll find it here!
Katie W.Director of Special Projects
For me, joining Data Machines was like arriving in the land of Oz. I found a small group of good people who shared a common goal and were willing to try impossible things to make the world a little better…and occasionally dress up in ridiculous costumes. It's not Kansas, but it is my kind of place.

What really sets Data Machines apart is how much it cares about its people and its mission. Leadership stays involved, employees feel supported, and the work actually matters. The company also actively supports your career goals, making it a great place for both staff and the clients we support.
