Junior Software Developer

Software Engineer, HPC Network Optimization

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build software that helps high-performance computing environments stay fast, reliable, and mission ready. In this role, you will join a team responsible for configuring, testing, characterizing, and optimizing networking components for HPC systems running in Linux. Your work will help improve performance at the system level and strengthen the infrastructure mission teams rely on every day.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work close to the platform, where software, automation, and system performance all come together. You will support networking-focused HPC efforts in a Linux environment, automate manual processes, and help improve how containerized services and supporting workflows operate. It is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys Linux, Python, performance-minded problem solving, and learning how complex compute environments behave under real demand.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your growth 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 early-career software role. It is a chance to build hands-on experience in an environment where solid technical work makes a real difference.

• Configure, test, characterize, and optimize system networking components for HPC systems in a Linux environment
• Use Bash and Python to automate manual processes and improve repeatability
• Support containerized services across Docker, Podman, and containerd environments
