Senior Software Developer

Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group • Columbia, MD

39d • $176,000 - $226,000

About The Position

At Intelliforce, we build mission-ready engineering solutions that help the Intelligence Community stay ahead of evolving threats. In this role, you will design and build resilient cloud-native systems that process large volumes of data and support critical operations. Your work will help mission teams move faster, operate smarter, and maintain a decisive advantage in demanding environments.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This role gives you the chance to work on software that sits at the core of modern mission infrastructure. You will build cloud-based services, automate infrastructure, and support distributed systems that need to be reliable, scalable, and ready to perform. The work blends software engineering, cloud operations, performance tuning, and cross-team collaboration, so you stay close to both the technical challenge and the mission impact.
At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contributions matter. 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 the systems mission teams rely on every day.
