Software Engineer, Large-Scale Data Platforms

At Intelliforce, we build software that helps mission teams process, move, and act on data at scale. In this role, you will work on systems built for demanding environments where performance, reliability, and strong engineering matter every day. You will help develop and support distributed data capabilities using modern automation, big data technologies, and Java-based services that keep mission operations moving.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role is a strong fit for an engineer who likes working deep in the stack and solving hard data problems with practical tools. You will work across automation, distributed processing, data storage, and backend development, using technologies that directly support large-scale mission workflows. The work is technical, visible, and tied to systems that need to perform under real load.

At Intelliforce, your work is seen and your contributions matter. 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 software role. It is a chance to build and improve data platforms that teams rely on every day.
