Do serious work that matters.
LightFeather builds the software, data platforms, and secure systems federal agencies depend on. Work on hard problems with a team that values technical depth and operational excellence.
Not the right fit for everyone, and we mean that as a compliment.
We hire people who want to own their work, grow their craft, and contribute to programs that have real consequences. Here is what you can expect from us.
Mission-Driven Work
Every project touches something that matters: identity systems, benefits delivery, cloud modernization, analytics platforms, and operational tools for federal agencies.
Small Teams, Real Ownership
We build in small, focused teams where individual contributors shape decisions. You will know why you are building what you are building.
Technical Depth Across Disciplines
We bring together people across the technical and operational spectrum who collaborate directly and communicate clearly.
Growth and Advancement
We invest in the people who invest in the mission, with pathways for certifications, new technical domains, and leadership.
How We Work
Purpose drives us. We take the work seriously, treat each other with respect, and move with urgency when it counts.
Clearance-Friendly Environment
Many programs operate in sensitive and classified environments. We support cleared personnel and sponsor clearances for eligible roles.
Clear, efficient, respectful of your time.
