We’re thrilled to announce our move to a new headquarters in Tysons Corner. Our name now proudly stands on the side of the building, symbolizing not just our growth, but the bright future that lies ahead. Every move we make is driven by our core values. Where we are today is no accident—it's the result of a deep commitment to cognitive diversity, a people-first approach, and an unwavering dedication to walking the walk (talent, tech, and trajectory). Thank you to our incredible team and partners for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come! #LFG 🚀

About us
Raft is a digital consulting firm with niche expertise in the rapid delivery of modern, user-first, scalable, and data-intensive digital solutions. We accelerate the missions of our federal partners through human-centered design (HCD) and agile development practices, bringing deep technical expertise in DevSecOps, Kubernetes management, cloud-native microservice architectures, and secure, open source delivery. As an SBA Certified 8(a) WOSB, we provide services that fall under the CNCF umbrella. We put our people and our culture first. We work with some of the smartest, hardest working experts in their field. We owe it to them to make sure our team is free of meaningless restrictions and internal politics so they can focus on what they love, finding innovative solutions. We build off the Open-Source and resist vendor lock in. That way you’re not paying us to reinvent the wheel, our solutions play nice with others and are always adaptable. We know digital innovation doesn’t always operate during bank hours, so neither do we. (It's also why we don’t dress like bankers.) We aren’t afraid to go the extra mile or put in the extra time to find a solution. We get it right the first time; we won’t waste our time (and your money) trying to fix something that’s fundamentally broken. It’s kind of like making an exceptional cup of coffee, if the beans are roasted wrong, it doesn’t matter how much pumpkin spice you dump in your cup, it’s still not going to taste great. And above all else we’re up for a challenge; it’s in our DNA. Ask us about something that’s never been done, or better yet something that can’t be done, and we’ll find a way to do it. It’s just who we are. If you need a partner that’s looking toward the future and not the past, don’t go traditional, go Raft.

🔥 Check out our latest infographic exposing the real cost of license-locked software in DoD procurement: https://lnkd.in/gyfeui4a For too long, the government has been trapped in outdated procurement processes, wasting billions on license-locked software that stifles innovation and drains resources. We believe in smarter, leaner solutions that actually support the mission. We stand by this principle—every dollar should be spent advancing the mission, not getting stuck in unnecessary upgrades or licensing fees that slow us down. Want to learn more??? Come see us at AFA next week at Booth 557!!! Demos > Memos LFG! 🚀
