Lead Software Engineer (Prime)

$196k - $252k

Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group, LLC.

Technical Lead Secure API Engineering

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most
Join a team building a platform-agnostic API that helps secure, store, and retrieve data across commercial database technologies. This mission-critical capability wraps COTS software in a way that makes it secure, scalable, compliant, and easier to integrate across multiple systems. Built around SaaS principles, the platform is designed for reuse, growth, and real enterprise impact. This is a strong fit for someone who likes solving hard problems, leading technical work, and staying close to both the build and the mission.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This role gives you real visibility, real ownership, and real range. You will lead technical work across engineering delivery, production support, and platform improvement, with the chance to shape how the system performs day to day and over time. One day might center on microservices or NiFi dataflows. Another might focus on troubleshooting production issues, scaling throughput, or improving performance and observability. The work sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and mission support, which keeps it technical, varied, and closely tied to outcomes that matter.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and leadership stays close to the action. Because we support prime programs, our teams are connected to high-priority mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, your voice carries, your contributions get noticed, and decisions move faster. Add in strong benefits, long-term contract stability, a people-first culture, and a fast interview process, and this becomes more than another opening. It is a real career move tied to meaningful outcomes.

Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Might Include
  • Lead a team of software and DevOps engineers delivering secure, reliable, mission-focused solutions.
  • Design, build, and enhance Java and Spring-based microservices in a modern containerized environment.
  • Develop and maintain Apache NiFi workflows, including custom processors, to support data ingestion and processing at scale.
  • Work with DevOps teams to improve throughput, expand cluster capacity, and keep pace with growing data volume and velocity.
  • Support production systems through Tier 2 and Tier 3 troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and issue resolution.
  • Use Linux command line tools to investigate issues, manage services, and support daily engineering operations.
  • Improve platform stability, observability, and performance using tools like Grafana and Prometheus.
  • Help build a team culture centered on strong engineering, shared ownership, and reliable delivery.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Full Scope Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances.
  • Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas.
  • Experience: 20 years of experience as a Software Engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four additional years of SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
  • Additional Experience: 5 years of demonstrated cloud experience with distributed, scalable big data stores such as HBase, CloudBase or Accumulo, BigTable, or similar technologies. Experience with MapReduce tools such as Hadoop, Hive, or Pig. Experience with HDFS. Experience with serialization methods such as JSON or BSON
Required Skills
  • Experience serving as a technical lead on a complex product or capability.
  • Experience leading software engineers and DevOps engineers in delivering solutions to mission customers.
  • Strong experience working in Linux command line environments.
  • Experience developing microservices using Java and Spring.
  • Experience developing and maintaining NiFi workflows, including custom processors.
  • Experience partnering with DevOps teams to scale processing clusters in response to increased data demands.
  • Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and containerd.
  • Experience with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
  • Experience using monitoring and observability tools including Grafana and Prometheus.
  • Experience using Git for version control.
Desired Skills
  • Experience with CI/CD practices and tools such as GitLab CI and ArgoCD.
  • Experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch for indexing and retrieval.
  • Additional experience with NiFi for dataflow management and ingestion.
  • Experience working with the Amazon HCI platform.
  • Strong debugging, documentation, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in an Agile environment and across a multidisciplinary team.
Compensation Range: $196,000.00 - $252,000.00
This salary range reflects our current market estimate for the role. Final compensation will depend on your experience, technical background, overall qualifications, and alignment with the position. We evaluate each candidate thoughtfully, so offers are shaped around the value you bring to the team.
