Northstrat, founded in 2006, designs and delivers mission-critical software, systems, and IT infrastructure for national security customers across the Intelligence, Defense, and Law Enforcement communities. The company works on both classified and commercial projects, building solutions that include satellite mission management systems, command and control platforms, and data analytics tools that transform complex information into actionable intelligence.
Technical work spans agile software development, systems engineering, business intelligence and analytics, intelligence mission systems, and IT infrastructure across classified and commercial environments. Engineers at Northstrat work directly on high-stakes government programmes where the software they build has operational consequences.
Northstrat operates as an employee-owned company, meaning every person who builds its solutions holds an ownership stake in the business. The company also runs an Individual Benefits Account, into which 50% of an employee's monthly salary accrues as additional benefits - funds that can be applied to medical coverage, retirement contributions via a Profit Sharing Plan, and other uses. In 2025, The Washington Post ranked Northstrat #2 among mid-size companies in its Top Workplaces list.
