Junior Agile Developer

Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group • Columbia, MD

1d • $129,000 - $165,000

About The Position

Join a team helping modernize a legacy operational system into a faster, more scalable microservices-based platform. This role is focused on building modern services with AWS-native technologies, improving how data is processed and exposed, and helping move a critical system forward with cleaner architecture and stronger engineering practices. If you enjoy building backend services, solving real technical problems, and working on modernization with clear mission value, this role gives you room to do all three.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This is the kind of role where you get to build, improve, and help shape what comes next. You will work with Java Spring Boot microservices, Python-based AWS automation, REST services, and CI/CD pipelines in an Agile environment where the work stays hands-on and collaborative. The mission is real, the modernization effort is active, and your contribution will help move an important platform away from legacy constraints and toward a more resilient future.
At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your voice 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 grow while building something that matters.
Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include
Write Java Spring Boot microservice applications using AWS native technologies
Use Python to optimize AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, EC2, and S3
Build REST services with Spring that can filter and select complex data objects
Implement CI/CD principles using Maven, GitLab, and GitOps
Support Agile development and delivery of software
Collaborate with engineers, teammates, and stakeholders to deliver reliable mission software
