The top three reasons why working at RedWire rocks:

1) You get to do good. People helping people—it’s a beautiful thing.

2) Brainastics, whiteboards, candy and lots of coffee. Sometimes we have to remind our employees to go home.

3) Flexible work hours. We don’t do “9 to 5”.
Nuff said.

We realize that a start-up environment doesn’t appeal to everybody, but if it works for you, then, please, read on.
