Software Engineer

Location: Annapolis Junction, MD

Software Engineer — Java / Big Data / Cloud

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build mission-ready engineering solutions that directly support national security operations. In this role, you will help develop large-scale data processing capabilities that power real-world intelligence outcomes. The work is deep in the stack, focused on distributed systems, cloud-enabled environments, and software that must perform reliably under real mission demand. This is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys complex technical problems, hands-on development, and building systems that matter every day.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work on software built for scale, speed, and mission impact. You will design Java services, support distributed data processing workflows, optimize performance, and integrate cloud-based capabilities into production platforms. The work blends coding, debugging, system integration, and continuous improvement, so you stay close to both the engineering and the mission.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contributions 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 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 help shape mission systems that operate at real scale.

Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include

• Design and build software components that process large volumes of data across distributed environments
• Develop new Java services that support mission data processing
• Optimize MapReduce workflows and improve system performance
• Troubleshoot production issues across distributed platforms
• Integrate cloud-based capabilities into existing mission systems
• Collaborate with analysts, engineers, and mission stakeholders to translate operational needs into scalable technical solutions
• Support coding, debugging, integration, and continuous improvement of production systems
