Job description

Software Engineer, Java Platform Integration

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build and sustain mission software that has to work as part of a much larger technical ecosystem. In this role, you will support Application Integration efforts by helping maintain, modernize, containerize, and deploy Java-based applications across evolving mission platforms.

You will work across software development and platform integration, updating Java code, building Docker containers, creating Helm charts, supporting Kubernetes deployments, and working with Terraform-based infrastructure. You will also serve as a technical resource for teammates who need help resolving development, integration, or deployment issues.

This is a strong fit for a software engineer who enjoys writing code but also wants to stay close to how that code is packaged, deployed, and operated.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you ownership beyond the application code itself. You will see your work through from development and refactoring into containerization, deployment, integration, and operational support.

You will help modernize existing software for stronger interoperability, package applications for containerized environments, support Kubernetes deployments, and work with infrastructure automation that helps make releases more repeatable and reliable.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your technical judgment matters. Because we support prime programs, our engineers stay close to meaningful mission work and the teams relying on what they build. 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 is an opportunity to work across both software engineering and modern platform delivery.

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

• Develop, maintain, and update Java-based software
• Refactor existing code to improve maintainability, compatibility, and interoperability
• Debug software issues and implement fixes
• Build and maintain Docker containers for application deployment
• Create and update Helm charts
• Support application deployments into Kubernetes environments
• Work with Terraform-based infrastructure and deployment workflows
• Support software build, integration, testing, and deployment activities
• Maintain interoperability with upstream and downstream systems
• Analyze and troubleshoot application interfaces and system data flows
• Support integration of applications into evolving mission platforms
• Investigate software, container, and deployment issues
• Provide development and troubleshooting support to teammates as needed
• Participate in software testing, integration testing, and operational validation
• Maintain technical and system documentation
• Coordinate with software engineers, systems engineers, security teams, testers, and mission stakeholders

Minimum Qualifications

• Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Full Scope Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
• Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas
• 20 years of Software Engineering experience on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university
• Four additional years of Software Engineering experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for the bachelor’s degree
• Five years of demonstrated cloud experience supporting distributed scalable data technologies and related processing environments

Required Skills

• Strong Java development experience
• Experience maintaining and updating existing Java codebases
• Experience debugging software and correcting defects
• Experience refactoring software to improve maintainability, interoperability, or performance
• Experience building Docker containers
• Experience creating and maintaining Helm charts
• Experience deploying or supporting applications in Kubernetes
• Experience with Terraform
• Experience supporting software build, integration, testing, and deployment activities
• Experience integrating software into new or modified environments
• Experience troubleshooting software and deployment issues
• Ability to provide developer support to teammates
• Experience working with interconnected applications, services, or data flows
• Strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills
• Strong collaboration skills across software, systems, security, testing, and operational teams

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting enterprise application integration environments
• Experience modernizing or refactoring legacy Java applications
• Experience supporting containerized mission applications
• Experience with CI/CD and automated deployment workflows
• Experience supporting Kubernetes-based platforms
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code beyond Terraform
• Experience troubleshooting complex end-to-end data flows
• Experience supporting secure or compliance-driven environments
• Experience working directly with external mission partners
• Experience serving as a technical resource or mentor for other developers
• Experience recommending improvements to software development and deployment processes
