Who are we?

Rampart Communications Inc. is based in Maryland. Our mission is to make the connected world more safe and more secure for individuals, businesses, and governments. We've advanced the bounds of information theory, secured independent validation and patents, and built systems and networks that are revolutionizing secure communications.

Our Values

We believe that privacy is a right.

We endeavor to advance the boundaries of science.

We value personal and professional integrity above all else.

Why Rampart?

We thrive on solving complex problems. We think deeply about simple, foundational challenges in systems, signals, and science. We're a deep-tech startup: our solutions aren't the "next best things" in security or communications; they're advances that were not considered possible, or practical... but we've achieved them, built the proofs, and are keen to press our advantage.

We are looking for motivated professionals who bring something different to the table, who come with curiosity and talent, and who represent fresh ideas and perspectives. Lastly, and most importantly: we are an equal opportunity employer who actively celebrates diversity and who is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

In addition to our unique culture and mission, we offer the following benefits:

• 100% Employer-funded Carefirst Open PPO
• Employer-funded Health Savings Account
• 401(k) plan with Employer contributions
• Employee Incentive Plan
• All Federal Holidays and Generous PTO!
