Launched to recruit top-level engineers for a two-year term to tackle high-stakes challenges in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data modernization, software engineering, and secure blockchain-based infrastructure, the Tech Force connects private sector innovation with national priorities.
Participants work directly on agency missions, from Treasury financial systems to defense advancements, while benefiting from world-class training and mentoring.
Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken and Payward: “At Kraken and Payward, we build for speed, security and scalability in the most demanding environments. Government technology modernization is not a nice thing. It is mission critical for public trust, economic strength and national leadership.”
“We are sending our experienced engineers to the Tech Force to deliver resilient, attack-proof systems, including blockchain applications that deliver unbreakable transparency and efficiency on a sovereign scale. We are also committed to recruiting the best Tech Force talent to our teams, creating a powerful pipeline that merges decentralized innovation with America’s core infrastructure. This is how we accelerate the future: crypto-grade security strengthening the spine backbone of the free world.
Payward joins a growing list of private sector partners in this cross-government effort, emphasizing practical, security-focused engineering to drive real-world impact across federal agencies.
By providing expertise and fostering the two-way flow of talent, Payward aims to help provide reliable, scalable technology that serves citizens and maintains America’s competitiveness.
