In this role, you will join a team responsible for configuring, testing, characterizing, and optimizing networking components for HPC systems running in Linux. Your work will help improve performance at the system level and strengthen the infrastructure mission teams rely on every day. What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out This role gives you the chance to work close to the platform, where software, automation, and system performance all come together. You will support networking-focused HPC efforts in a Linux environment, automate manual processes, and help improve how containerized services and supporting workflows operate. It is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys Linux, Python, performance-minded problem solving, and learning how complex compute environments behave under real demand. At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your growth matters. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real 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 early-career software role. It is a chance to build hands-on experience in an environment where solid technical work makes a real difference. Here's What Your Day-to-Day Could Include * Configure, test, characterize, and optimize system networking components for HPC systems in a Linux environment * Use Bash and Python to automate manual processes and improve repeatability * Support containerized services across Docker, Podman, and containerd environments * Help strengthen CI/CD workflows and source-controlled development practices * Work with platform and engineering teams to improve performance, reliability, and maintainability * Support testing and troubleshooting efforts across mission-focused HPC environments ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
