Job Description

Software Engineer, Kubernetes Mission Applications

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build software that helps mission teams move faster in environments where reliability, speed, and clarity matter every day. In this role, you will help design, develop, test, troubleshoot, and sustain a mission-focused enterprise web application deployed in a containerized Kubernetes Linux environment. This is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys Python development, cloud-native platforms, and building applications that have to perform in real operational settings.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work across the full lifecycle of a modern mission application. You will partner with Product Owners, System Engineers, and other Software Engineers to shape features, solve problems, and keep a production application moving forward. The work blends backend development, REST interface design, containerized deployment, CI/CD, and sustainment in Kubernetes, so your impact is visible in both the software and the platform it runs on.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contribution 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 software role. It is a chance to build and sustain mission software in an environment where strong engineering makes a real difference.
