Our Culture
Sequoia was founded in 2012 by passionate technologists who had two goals: (1) to deliver the best in software engineering to the National Security sector, and (2) to build a company that treated its people right. In the years since then Sequoia has not wavered from those goals.
Sequoia has attained status as a trusted provider of software engineering services to National Security customers and as a company with unparalleled benefits and culture.
