Job Description

Software Engineer, Airflow Data Pipelines

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, you build mission software with teams who move fast, communicate clearly, and own outcomes. In this role, you will engineer reliable data workflows that help turn complex data into usable results. The work centers on production-ready automation, strong observability, and clean orchestration patterns that keep mission teams moving with confidence.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role is a strong fit for an engineer who likes building systems that do real work every day. You will design and sustain Apache Airflow workflows, partner with data and platform teams on scalable automation patterns, and strengthen reliability across Linux-based, containerized environments. The work is practical, visible, and tied to mission delivery, with a healthy mix of workflow design, troubleshooting, automation, and performance improvement.

At Intelliforce, your work is seen and your input 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 automation and orchestration workflows people rely on.

• Build and maintain Apache Airflow DAGs for data pipelines and automation
