Northstrat is an employee-owned IT and engineering firm founded in 2006, providing software development, systems engineering, and IT infrastructure services to U.S. Government clients across the Intelligence, Defense, and Law Enforcement communities. The company works on both classified and commercial projects, delivering solutions that include satellite mission management systems, command and control platforms, data analytics, and business intelligence tools.
Technical work spans agile software development, systems engineering, intelligence mission systems, and IT infrastructure. Northstrat's engineers build software and systems that operate under high reliability requirements - environments where the decisions made depend directly on the tools delivered.
The company's employee-owned structure means every member of staff holds a direct stake in its performance. Compensation includes an Individual Benefits Account that accrues at 50% of monthly salary, giving employees considerable control over how their earnings are allocated, alongside a Profit Sharing Plan for retirement contributions. In 2025, The Washington Post ranked Northstrat #2 among mid-size companies in its Top Workplaces list.
