Job description

At Intelliforce, we help modernize mission systems that protect national security and support critical intelligence operations. In this role, you will help transform legacy platforms into scalable, cloud‑ready solutions built on modern architectures. Your work will deliver reliable, secure, and high‑performing services that directly support mission capability. This is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys building clean backend systems, solving complex problems, and working on software with real operational impact.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to build modern services that do more than replace old code. You will help shape microservices that power mission applications, improve system performance, and support secure, scalable delivery in a fast‑moving environment. The work blends hands‑on development, service design, integration, and delivery support, so you stay close to both the engineering and the mission.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your impact is real. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with strong momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong engineering gets noticed. Add in long‑term stability, strong benefits, and a people‑first culture, and this becomes more than another software role. It is a chance to help build the next generation of mission systems.

Here’s What Your Day‑to‑Day Could Include

• Design and build microservices that power modern mission applications
• Develop Java Spring Boot services and expose secure REST APIs
• Build services that handle complex data filtering and processing requirements
• Collaborate with engineers, architects, and stakeholders to turn requirements into reliable software
• Implement new features, improve performance, and support service integrations
• Help maintain CI/CD workflows and support Agile delivery cycles
• Participate in code reviews and help ensure applications meet security and quality standards before deployment

Minimum Qualifications

• Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
• Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas
• Bachelor’s degree in a related technical discipline from an accredited college or university, or equivalent experience
• At least 9 years of relevant experience, OR a Master’s degree with at least 7 years of relevant experience
• Active Top Secret clearance with CI polygraph issued within the last 5 years

Required Skills

• Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs
• Ability to build services capable of filtering and processing complex data objects
• Experience working within Agile development environments
• Familiarity with CI/CD principles and modern software delivery practices
• Strong collaboration and communication skills for working across technical teams and stakeholders

Desired Skills

• Experience with microservices architectures
• Proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, or Python
• Experience with CI/CD tools and DevOps workflows including AWS tools, Maven, GitLab, and GitOps practices
• Experience with container technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker
• Experience with NoSQL databases, including MongoDB schema design and query optimization
• Experience implementing OAuth or OIDC authentication mechanisms
• Experience with automated testing frameworks such as Playwright and Cucumber
