Real Employee-Owners
At DSA, employee-owners don't just do the work; they own the outcome. See what a 100% employee-owned company looks like from the inside, then go find your role.
We're an employee-owned, mission-driven company, and that starts with how we treat our people. We ask every employee-owner to speak straight, and we listen generously in return. When something isn't working, we fix it. When someone has a better idea, we act on it. Every employee-owner has a voice in how DSA runs, and a real say in where it goes next.
Career growth here isn't an afterthought. We invest in development that grows alongside the missions our customers depend on, and we make a point of celebrating the people behind both.

Ownership here isn't a metaphor. It's a stock certificate, a seat at the table, and a career path that keeps growing.
Every employee-owner holds a stake in DSA through our ESOP, fully funded by the company at no cost to you. When DSA grows, you grow with it.

At DSA, our people think and act like the owners they are. Here's why three of them joined, and why they've stayed.
Ever since I became part of the DSA team, everyone has been welcoming and helpful. I came in with ambition, and I was never discouraged. I wouldn't be where I am now without the support of my team, and I'm proud to be part of a group with such incredible people.
When I joined DSA as a senior recruiter, I stepped into a mission-driven organization that lives the DSA Way every day. I've grown tremendously, from mastering recruiting strategies to understanding the mission-critical work we do for defense, intelligence, and federal programs.
I enjoy working at DSA because I work in an area that interests me and inspires me to learn and grow. I'm challenged to be better every day, and I always feel like my contributions matter. I can see a clear path forward, with plenty of room to grow.
Cleared IT, engineering, and mission-support roles are open now.
