DevOps Engineer, Mission Platform

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build the platforms behind modern mission software. In this role, you will help sustain a reliable, highly available environment that orchestrates microservices for a modernized operational system. Your work will sit at the center of automation, platform engineering, security, and cloud operations, helping mission teams run faster, safer, and with less friction in environments where uptime matters.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to do more than keep infrastructure running. You will help shape how the platform is built, secured, deployed, and improved over time. The work spans Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, CI/CD, AWS, RHEL hardening, and cloud-native observability, so you stay close to both the code and the environment it depends on. It is a strong fit for an engineer who likes solving operational problems, automating repeatable work, and building systems that hold up under real mission demands.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your impact is real. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with strong 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 DevOps role. It is a chance to build and sustain a platform teams rely on every day.

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

Develop Infrastructure as Code and automation to provision services, eliminate manual work, and support scalable platform operations
Patch, harden, and maintain compliance across RHEL-based environments
Install, configure, and tune Kubernetes, Docker Compose, NiFi, and cloud-native logging and metrics tools
Manage CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment workflows using GitLab Runners and Argo CD
