Federal Technology Contracting
Elk Run Technology places elite engineers — SREs, DevOps, Platform, and Sysadmin — into federal agencies that can't afford downtime.
About Us
Elk Run Technology is a technology contracting firm specializing in placing highly skilled engineers within federal government agencies. We understand that government infrastructure isn't just software — it's national capability.
Our team vets engineers not just for technical depth, but for the professionalism, discretion, and security-mindedness that federal work demands. From legacy system modernization to cloud-native platform builds, we bring the right people to the hardest problems in public-sector IT.
Roles We Support
We staff four critical disciplines that keep federal systems running, scaling, and secure.
The backbone of any federal environment. Our sysadmins manage Linux and Windows infrastructure, handle patching and hardening, and keep government systems compliant and operational around the clock.
Bridging development and operations in environments where deployments must be auditable, repeatable, and secure. Our engineers build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that meet federal security requirements.
Building the internal platforms that let agency development teams move fast without breaking compliance. We design and operate developer platforms purpose-built for government-scale workloads.
When uptime is a national security matter, SREs matter. Our engineers define and defend SLOs, build observability stacks, and architect systems that fail gracefully — even under adversarial conditions.
Why Elk Run
Every engineer goes through a technical screening designed around real federal work — not generic coding challenges.
We proactively build a pipeline of engineers who are cleared or positioned to obtain clearances quickly.
Our engineers understand FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST, and DISA STIGs — not as afterthoughts, but as first principles.
We build relationships with agencies, not just contracts. Our goal is to be your trusted staffing partner for years, not months.
