Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer, AI-Enabled CNO Tooling

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build mission software that helps operators and developers move faster in environments where the work is complex and the stakes are real. In this role, you will support CNO development across multiple teams by designing, building, and integrating tools that improve how mission software gets developed, tested, and delivered. You will work closely with stakeholders and engineers to create new workflows enhanced by AI and ML technologies, helping solve real reverse engineering and development challenges in the field.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to shape how development happens across the mission. You will lead projects from concept through deployment, work directly with mission stakeholders, and help teams turn difficult operational problems into practical technical solutions. The work blends software engineering, workflow design, AI and ML integration, and close collaboration across the CNO developer space, so your impact is visible in both the tools you build and the teams you enable.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your ideas 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 senior software role. It is a chance to improve how mission teams build, test, and deliver software every day.
