Systems Engineer

Cloud Infrastructure Architect Make an Impact Where It Matters Most At Intelliforce, we do not modernize for the sake of modernization. We build environments that help mission teams move faster, collaborate better, and stay ready for what is next. In this role, you will help architect the move from a patchwork legacy environment to a modern cloud-native backbone that supports AI-enabled development, FVEY collaboration, and the next generation of CNO development, all while the mission keeps running. This is a rare chance to shape the future of a critical development environment from the ground up. What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out This role gives you real influence over how cloud adoption happens in a high-consequence mission space. You will define the technical roadmap, build reusable cloud patterns, assess aging infrastructure, and design practical migration paths that improve performance without disrupting operations. The work is strategic and hands‑on. You will partner with mission stakeholders, cloud professional services, and technical leadership to solve real problems, from large‑scale storage and system integration to unified SSO and better developer workflows. At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your recommendations carry weight. 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 technical leadership gets noticed. Add in long‑term stability, strong benefits, and a people‑first culture, and this becomes more than another cloud role. It is a chance to help make CNO one of the best software development environments in the agency. Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include Lead cloud architecture strategy and define reusable patterns that help teams adopt cloud solutions where they make sense Build technical roadmaps and “easy button” templates that speed adoption while preserving mission flexibility Architect end-to-end solutions for complex CNE services across legacy and cloud-native environments Assess existing infrastructure, document dependencies, and help prioritize modernization based on mission impact, cost, and risk Partner with AWS Professional Services and mission stakeholders to scope, validate, and refine cloud solutions Design modern workflows and user experiences for CNE developers, including solutions for unified SSO and large‑scale datasets Help improve the overall software development environment for mission teams through practical, mission‑focused infrastructure decisions Minimum Qualifications Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active.
