Cleared Foundry engineers for NSA, Cyber Command, and intelligence community programs at Fort George G. Meade.
Fort Meade is the operational center of the U.S. intelligence community's signals intelligence and cyber operations. It's home to the National Security Agency (NSA), U.S. Cyber Command, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and the Defense Media Activity—all agencies running sophisticated data platforms for classified missions.
Palantir Foundry and Gotham have deep roots at Fort Meade. Intelligence agencies here process massive volumes of signals intelligence, cyber threat data, and multi-source intelligence requiring advanced data integration and analysis platforms. The work is highly classified, technically complex, and operationally critical.
NSA runs some of the most sophisticated data integration platforms in the world. Signals intelligence collection generates petabytes of data requiring real-time processing, correlation across sources, and integration with partner intelligence services.
Foundry's capability to handle multi-source data integration, build complex ontologies, and support compartmented access makes it relevant for intelligence workflows where data lives at different classification levels and different organizations need different views.
Cyber Command coordinates defensive and offensive cyber operations across DoD. This requires integrating threat intelligence, network data, adversary tracking, and operational planning into systems that support real-time decision-making.
Workshop applications for cyber operations need to display threat data, track campaigns, coordinate responses across service cyber components, and maintain operational security. These aren't simple dashboards—they're mission-critical tools where downtime affects national security.
DISA provides IT and communications support to the President, Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs, and combatant commands. Their systems require extreme reliability, security, and integration across classification domains.
Programs at Fort Meade have specific requirements that differ from commercial or even other federal work:
Fort Meade work requires TS/SCI clearances, often with polygraph and compartmented access. Getting someone cleared to this level takes 18+ months. Programs can't wait that long.
Our engineers hold active clearances and have worked in SCIF environments. We understand read-on procedures, how to handle compartmented information, and the operational security requirements that come with intelligence work. This isn't theoretical—we've built systems in these environments.
Major defense and intelligence contractors support NSA and Cyber Command programs:
We work as subcontractors to these primes when they need Palantir specialists. As a VOSB, we help them meet small business goals while providing engineers who know Foundry and already have the clearances.
Cleared Foundry engineers: Platform engineers who understand signals intelligence workflows, cyber operations data, and the security requirements of classified intelligence systems.
Multi-level security architectures: Ontology design for systems that span classification levels with proper sanitization and cross-domain controls.
Intelligence data integration: Pipelines that process signals intelligence, cyber threat data, and multi-source intelligence in near real-time.
Workshop applications for intelligence analysts: Tools that intelligence professionals actually use—not generic dashboards, but applications built for specific intelligence workflows.
AIP in air-gapped environments: LLM deployment in classified networks where the AI never connects to external services and operates entirely within your security boundary.
We're based in Ashburn, Virginia—55 minutes from Fort Meade via MD-200 and I-95. Our engineers work on-site at NSA and contractor facilities on base. We understand facility access procedures, badging requirements, and the security protocols for working in SCIF environments.
Fort Meade programs typically require:
