About INflow Federal - founded in 2013, INflow Federal is a mission-driven small business delivering cutting-edge solutions to the Department of War (DoW) and Joint Force operations across 20+ states. Our strength comes from our people - especially the Veterans who make up over 50% of our workforce. Through our Veteran Outreach Program and employee-first culture, we invest deeply in professional growth, well-being, and innovation. Known for our agility, transparency, and integrity, INflow combines real-world experience with emerging technologies like AI/ML to help our customers lead in a rapidly evolving defense landscape.

Job Overview

As a Software Developer at INflow Federal, you'll build and ship AI features for Ontology-based mission applications supporting an Intelligence Community customer.

In this role, you will develop LLM-enabled workflows and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities inside existing mission software, integrate data streams from multiple sources and network environments into the customer's system, and execute cloud platform migrations across AWS, OpenShift, and Kubernetes. You'll work in Python, Java, and Scala on an agile scrum team, applying DevSecOps practices - code hardening, automated security scanning, CI/CD - so that what you build survives contact with complex, secure networks.

Here, your work is more than a job-it's a journey in innovation. With opportunities to work on high-impact projects, access to the latest technologies, and a culture that thrives on creativity and collaboration, INflow Federal is where your expertise can truly make a difference.
