About Huntridge Labs

Overview

Huntridge Labs is a digital engineering company focused on delivering modern solutions for public benefit that are backed by emerging technologies.

Mission over Margin

We value serving the client mission over everything else. We believe there are too many public sector-focused firms in this industry that are distracted by their bottom line, forcing their customers and the public take a back seat. We started Huntridge Labs to be better. We are here to benefit the general public by helping the government solve critical technology challenges.

We Do Not Settle for Mediocrity

Our philosophy is "A's hire A's." As such, we hire top talent into every position. We roll up our sleeves to solve our industry’s toughest challenges, which requires incredibly talented people at our side. We offer one of the best benefits packages in the industry to prove our commitment to attracting and retaining the best talent. We also understand that our company may not be for everyone. Every new employee is subject to a 90-day probationary period. If this is not a good fit, we may decide to part ways. We will make sure you are taken care of financially until you can find a new role.

Benefits
