Senior Devops Engineer

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

Join a team building the reliable, highly available platform behind a modernized operational system. This role is focused on keeping critical microservices orchestrated, secure, and ready to perform using modern DevOps practices and cloud-native technologies. You will help automate infrastructure, strengthen system reliability, support compliance, and improve the performance of a platform mission users depend on every day.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role offers the kind of work DevOps engineers usually want more of, real ownership, meaningful technical depth, and a direct connection to mission outcomes. You will work across infrastructure automation, CI/CD, cloud operations, Kubernetes-based orchestration, and system hardening in an environment where reliability and performance matter.

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, decisions move faster, 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 with real purpose.
