Virtualitics has been recognized by Built In as one of the Best Places to Work in 2026. This annual awards program honors companies across the U.S. whose culture, benefits, and compensation set the standard for today’s workforce. Virtualitics was named to Built In’s 2026 “Best Places to Work in Washington D.C.” and Best Startups to Work for in Los Angeles” lists, a recognition that reflects our rapid growth, strong culture, and commitment to attracting top talent as it scales mission-critical AI solutions.
For Virtualitics, this recognition reflects the foundation we’ve worked hard to build: a mission-first culture where people can do meaningful work, grow quickly, and contribute to outcomes that matter. As the Mission AI Company, Virtualitics delivers trusted AI readiness applications for national security and critical infrastructure, helping customers move from data complexity to decision advantage through purpose-built AI applications with explainability at their core. Built on more than a decade of Caltech research in partnership with NASA/JPL, our work is grounded in real operational needs where transparency, trust, and speed are essential.
Built In determines Best Places to Work winners using a data-driven algorithm that evaluates companies based on compensation, benefits, and companywide programming. This year’s winners span major tech hubs across the U.S., representing organizations of all sizes and work models, from startups to enterprises, remote-first to office-based.
As Built In noted, workplace recognition carries even more weight as AI becomes central to how candidates discover, evaluate, and choose employers. A Best Places to Work designation signals to candidates that a company invests in its people, and helps strengthen how AI-powered search tools understand and represent an employer’s reputation.
At Virtualitics, we believe mission outcomes are built by teams who are aligned and empowered to do their best work. This recognition comes during a period of strong momentum, as Virtualitics expanded partnerships across the Department of War (DoW)—including the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy—to enable leaders to anticipate future capability gaps, prioritize decisions, and take action. As organizations move toward sustainment models that anticipate challenges before they occur, Mission AI must be transparent, trusted, and operational. We’re proud of the role our team plays in helping advance readiness at speed and scale.
We are honored by what this recognition reflects and even more energized by what comes next!
