Job Description

Senior Software Engineer, Data Dictionary Platform

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build software that helps mission teams trust the data they use and the systems that depend on it. In this role, you will help design, build, and sustain a Data Dictionary capability that supports metadata specification, storage, and access services across a mission environment. You will work on a platform built around a Java and Spring backend, REST APIs, and a web-based user interface, helping ensure critical data is structured, accessible, and usable where it matters most.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to be more than a contributor on a backlog. You will independently implement features, influence system architecture, and help guide delivery across the full lifecycle in a collaborative Agile environment. The work blends backend engineering, API design, database architecture, and platform delivery, so your impact shows up in both the technical foundation and the day-to-day usability of the system.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible 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 Java role. It is a chance to help shape a platform other systems and teams depend on every day.

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

• Design and implement backend services and APIs for a Data Dictionary capability
• Contribute to system architecture and technical design decisions
• Develop and maintain database schemas and supporting integrations
• Participate in CI/CD and deployment processes across the platform lifecycle
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to deliver reliable capabilities
• Mentor junior engineers and help strengthen engineering quality across the team
• Support full lifecycle delivery in a collaborative Agile environment
