Why In-Person?

We get it—remote work has its perks. But at G2 Ops, we work with highly sensitive material that require a secure work environment. That means most of our roles require working on-site, either at our San Diego office or at a military customer site.

But here’s the good news:

  • We value work-life balance. While we can’t offer full remote work, we do allow flexible schedules when possible.
  • Our office is awesome! We’ve built a collaborative, high-energy environment where employees enjoy working together and supporting one another.
  • Hands-on experience. You’ll have the unique opportunity to work directly with military personnel, gaining insights and experience you wouldn’t get from a remote position.

As a Systems Engineer here, you’ll be at the heart of mission-critical projects that ensure our warfighters have the best technology and systems available.
