About The Position

At Intelliforce, we build software that helps mission systems stay secure, connected, and ready for what is next. In this role, you will join the JBLOCKS Endpoint Services team to develop new capabilities that support Zero Trust across multiple domains. You will help shape software that strengthens security, improves interoperability, and supports mission needs in environments where reliability and precision matter every day. This role gives you the chance to work on software that sits close to both security and mission impact. You will help define, manage, and deliver capabilities within an existing team, while working across requirements, design input, development, testing, and lifecycle support. The work blends Java development, baseline management, customer engagement, and Zero Trust mission support, so you stay close to both the code and the operational purpose behind it. 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 build Zero Trust capabilities teams will rely on every day.
