Why Leidos?

Join a team that delivers mission-critical solutions for national security. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth while working on cutting-edge defense technologies.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”
