Senior Software Developer

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, AI Platform

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build the infrastructure behind the next wave of AI capabilities. In this role, you will help lead development of the platform components that power scalable inference, AI services, and the broader AI application ecosystem. Your work will directly support the systems teams depend on to move new AI capabilities from idea to production, with the reliability, performance, and security mission environments demand.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to shape both the platform and the team behind it. You will lead AI infrastructure initiatives, guide a small integrated team, and help define how scalable inference, RAG, autonomous agents, and emerging AI services are built and operated. The work blends hands-on engineering, technical leadership, people care, and platform strategy, so your impact shows up in the architecture, the delivery, and the long-term strength of the organization.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your leadership 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 senior engineering role. It is a chance to help build the AI platform others will build on.

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

• Design, implement, and optimize infrastructure for AI model inference at scale
