Embracing AI. At G2 Ops, we don’t just talk about AI—we use it. Our recent company-wide AI usage survey shows over 75% of our team is actively engaging with AI tools, making us a leader in real-world adoption among engineering, cybersecurity, and defense firms. Led by our Director of Operations for Production, the initiative has already identified clear, actionable ways for every role—technical and operational—to harness AI effectively. From engineering automation to proposal generation and risk modeling, G2 Ops is embedding AI directly into how we work.
We’re now launching the next phase: AI playbooks, secure tooling aligned with government security protocols, and real-time support for hands-on use across all departments. At G2 Ops, you'll not only work with cutting-edge technology, you'll help define how it's applied in real mission environments.
Want to work where AI isn’t hype, but habit? Join us.
So, you want to work from home? Let's be honest, remote work is not always all it's cut out to be. At G2 Ops, we offer a flexible schedule to meet the needs of our team members and customers. Due to the classification level of the projects we support as a Defense Contractor, we cannot offer fully remote opportunities at this time. You will have a shiny desk at our G2 Ops office and the ability to telework with prior approval.
We’ve worked hard to create a great culture where our team gets to come to a collaborative, exciting office environment, and we want you to join the fun!
Lastly, as we are working for the DoD, we are beholden to some requirements. The ideal candidate would already possess an active DoD Secret level clearance and a PMP certification (or ability to obtain within 6 months), plus DAU PM Level III within 12 months.
Quick Reminder, we are seeking a full-time team member; the continuation of outside employment shall not constitute a conflict with the Company’s interest, including performing work for a customer or competitor.
