Annapolis Junction, MD
Full Time
Experienced

Software Integration Engineer, PaaS Platform Operations

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

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.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

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. It is a chance to help shape a mission platform that teams depend on every day.

  • Administer, maintain, and support the PaaS component of the CASA Compute Environment
  • Help sustain secure, multi-tenant, high-performance Kubernetes clusters running on Linux infrastructure

  • Write, deploy, and maintain Helm charts for containerized services

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
