Software Integration Engineer

Software Integration Engineer, PaaS Platform Operations

At Intelliforce, we build the platforms mission applications depend on to run securely, reliably, and at scale. In this role, you will help support the Platform-as-a-Service component of the CASA Compute Environment, a secure, multi-tenant, high-performance Kubernetes environment operating on Linux infrastructure. Your work will help keep the platform stable, scalable, and ready to meet mission and application demands in an environment where performance and uptime matter every day.

This role gives you the chance to work at the center of a modern mission platform. You will support Kubernetes clusters, containerized services, automation, and infrastructure operations that directly affect how mission applications are deployed and sustained. The work blends Linux administration, scripting, platform troubleshooting, Helm-based deployments, and CI/CD support, so your impact is visible across both the platform and the teams who rely on it.

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 integration role.
