Recruiting in Washington, DC
The DC metro is the U.S. hub for cybersecurity, federal-adjacent SaaS, GovTech, and mission-driven AI companies. Northern Virginia in particular concentrates the largest cluster of cyber and cloud-infrastructure employers in the country.
We support venture-backed cybersecurity startups, applied AI companies serving public-sector and regulated buyers, healthcare AI teams tied to NIH and academic medical centers, and enterprise SaaS employers hiring commercial leadership.
DC hiring is unusually credential-sensitive — clearances, prior agency experience, and regulated-industry background matter. We calibrate the intake around those signals up front.
