About Us

Built for the Complexity of Federal IT

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.

Security-first mindset
Cleared & clearable engineers
Federal compliance expertise

Roles We Support

The Engineers Behind the Mission

We staff four critical disciplines that keep federal systems running, scaling, and secure.

01

System Administration

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.

  • Linux / Windows Server
  • STIG Hardening
  • Active Directory
  • Patch Management
02

DevOps Engineering

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.

  • CI/CD Pipelines
  • GitOps
  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Container Orchestration
03

Platform Engineering

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.

  • Kubernetes
  • Internal Developer Platforms
  • Cloud Foundations
  • Service Mesh
04

Site Reliability Engineering

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.

  • SLO / SLA Management
  • Observability & Alerting
  • Incident Response
  • Chaos Engineering

Why Elk Run

We Don't Just Fill Seats

Rigorous Vetting

Every engineer goes through a technical screening designed around real federal work — not generic coding challenges.

Clearance Ready

We proactively build a pipeline of engineers who are cleared or positioned to obtain clearances quickly.

Compliance Fluent

Our engineers understand FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST, and DISA STIGs — not as afterthoughts, but as first principles.

Long-Term Partners

We build relationships with agencies, not just contracts. Our goal is to be your trusted staffing partner for years, not months.
