- Develop software using modern programming languages such as Java, Python, C++, or TypeScript/Angular.
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code following secure coding and software engineering best practices.
- Build and integrate modular microservices to improve scalability, maintainability, and interoperability.
Cloud & Containerized Environments
- Build and deploy containerized, cloud-native services using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, or equivalent).
- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code and automation scripts to accelerate deployment and configuration management.
- Contribute to secure deployments across hybrid or disconnected environments (IL4–IL6, AWS GovCloud, or on-prem).
Systems Integration & Distributed Computing
- Develop distributed systems and data integration frameworks using message buses such as Kafka or Redis.
- Engineer data flow between analytic, AI, and simulation components to support real-time mission use cases.
- Collaborate with system engineers and architects to ensure interoperability across software ecosystems.
Data & Analytics Integration
- Build and manage databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, graph DBs) and model complex data relationships.
- Develop data services that feed analytics pipelines or integrate AI/ML outputs into runtime systems.
- Work with serialization and exchange formats such as JSON, Protobuf, GeoJSON, or KML.
Security, Testing & Sustainment
- Write, test, and deploy software within secure or classified environments.
- Automate testing and monitoring to ensure performance, reliability, and repeatable deployments.
- Support the transition of prototypes to operational systems, focusing on maintainability and observability.

About Frontier Technology Inc.
Frontier Technologies is a cybersecurity-first IT services firm that partners with organizations and agencies to deliver secure, compliant infrastructure, especially when the stakes are high and the timeline is tight.
We’re not the biggest name in tech, and that’s intentional. Our clients choose us because we show up when it counts. When compliance deadlines are looming, vendors disappear, or legacy systems are holding back modernization, our team moves fast, asks the right questions, and delivers what others miss.
What Makes Us Different:
- Cybersecurity is built into everything we do. We don’t treat it as an add-on. From architecture to execution, every solution is designed with risk mitigation and long-term resilience in mind.
- We specialize in urgency. We’ve helped clients pull together last-minute government proposals, recover from vendor failures, and meet audit deadlines without compromise.
- We’re a woman-led, family-owned business. That’s not just a credential, it’s a culture. We’re small enough to be nimble, experienced enough to lead, and accountable every step of the way.
- 95% client retention. We’ve earned long-term partnerships by doing what we say, fixing what’s broken, and becoming the first call when things go sideways.
Who We Serve:
- Federal procurement teams managing high-security IT environments
- Healthcare systems facing compliance and cybersecurity demands
- IT directors and CIOs navigating modernization mandates with limited resources
What We Deliver:
- Secure network architecture and optimization
- Managed IT services with 24/7 responsiveness
- Cybersecurity vulnerability assessments and remediation
- Licensing, cloud migration, compliance support, and more
We don’t hand over templated roadmaps. We diagnose, design, and deliver systems that work because for our clients, “good enough” isn’t safe enough.
