A Little More About STS

You don’t get named a “Best Place to Work” by the Washington Business Journal, receive the Washington Technology magazine’s FAST50 status, and achieve Inc Magazine’s “Inc 500” status just by ‘talking the talk’. Our vision of excellence is aligned to our 'Techquity' (Tech-Equity) focus and drive. We understand that disparities and gaps in opportunities and earning potential exist for marginalized groups, such as people of color and women, in the IT industry. By leveraging the power, passion, and talent from this group we are able to deliver innovative GovCon IT solutions that exceed our customer’s expectations.

Our team members are not just ‘employees’; they’re parents, friends, volunteers, artists, students, athletes, and all of the other things that make them whole people. The flexibility that STS offers allows them to balance their personal lives while providing the top-notch services our customers have come to depend on.

Additionally, the team benefits from our partnerships with AWS, Google, Microsoft and CloudBees – with access to improved knowledge and the opportunity to become a SME with one or more of our above partners. At Simple Technology Solutions, we don't see Team Member benefits as 'perks'. Taking care of the people who take care of us is the standard.
