Enable America Jobs

Founded in 2015, Knack Works, based out of Northern Virginia, was formed to address the demand for cutting-edge development environments within the intelligence community. Knack Works is focused on providing scalable, automated solutions that enable our customers to perform their national security missions in an ever-changing environment of new technologies and evolving threats. Our flagship product, the "Knack Stack," introduces flexible and automated hybrid cloud infrastructure as a service for cloud-agnostic deployments and automation. It's designed to automate data management and security. Today, we operate independently as Knack Works, a subsidiary of Jacobs. We are fortunate to retain our identity as a small business, yet with support from a large company.
