Systems Administrator (Prime)

Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group • Columbia, MD

9d • $131,000 - $168,000

About The Position

Join a team responsible for keeping mission systems connected, compliant, and ready to perform. This role supports a platform that discovers, acquires, processes, and stores mission data, including streaming services, and plays a key part in keeping those capabilities stable, interoperable, and mission-ready. You will work across systems engineering, software engineering, Information Assurance, and testing to help ensure the platform continues to perform where it matters most.

If you like solving operational problems, improving reliability, and supporting systems people rely on every day, this role has strong pull.

This role gives you broad visibility across the mission and real ownership in keeping it moving. You will support sustainment, interoperability, standards and policy compliance, build and deployment efforts, and mission partner coordination across systems people rely on every day.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and leadership is accessible. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, your contributions are seen and your voice carries. Add in strong benefits, long-term contract stability, a people-first culture, and a hiring process that respects your time, and this becomes more than another operations role. It is a chance to work on systems with real mission value and real technical impact.

At Intelliforce, we don’t just push the boundaries of technology—we partner with some of the most mission-driven teams in defense and beyond to solve challenges that truly matter. As a Systems Engineer here, you won’t just contribute to projects—you’ll help shape outcomes that make a real-world impact.
We also know that great work starts with a great environment. That’s why we invest in you:
