Careers

PotomacSI is always looking for talented staff to work with our government clients. If you're interested in joining our team, please shoot us a cover letter and resume to careers@potomacsi.com.

What type of folks are we looking for? At the moment we're mostly looking for engineers and developer-types. It's not that we've got anything against the "softer skills", that's just not what our customers are looking for right now.

What aren't we looking for? We don't really care what certifications you have. The alphabet soup of credentials doesn't really impress us. We want folks on the team that have real experience delivering real capabilities. We're working in support of some of our customers' most critical projects, and we need folks that know what it takes to Deliver!.

What are some signs that you might be a fit? Let's see, where do we begin.....

  • You run your own server(s), not because you have to but because you actually enjoy it
  • You've rooted your phone, and somehow managed not to "brick it" in the process
  • You laugh at xkcd because you actually get the jokes
  • You know where to find your $FAVORITE_BROWSER's developer tools, and how to use them
  • You listen to the Security Now! podcast and actually understand what Steve Gibson is talking about
  • When you hear the words "Chef" and "Puppet" in the same sentence, you know you're not talking about dinner and a show
  • You prefer vi over emacs. Or emacs over vi. Whichever floats your boat, you know what the heck we're talking about here.


    • But even if this doesn't describe you, feel free to reach out and say hi. Not all of us can be uber-geeks. We might still have a fit for you. Tell us what makes you special, and how you can help our customers tackle their hard problems. We promise you'll get a response (and no, not a generic, machine generated response.)

    And make sure to mention if you have, have had, or are willing to get a security clearance. Clearances are required for many of our positions.

    Lastly, PotomacSI is an equal opportunity employer. We value talent and motivation regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever other many attributes make you unique.
