About the role

Software Engineer, HPC Platform Services

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build the software behind the platforms mission teams rely on to compute, scale, and stay operational under pressure. In this role, you will develop and maintain system management infrastructure software and services for High Performance Computing environments running in Linux. Your work will help strengthen the automation, security, reliability, and manageability of HPC systems that support real mission needs every day.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work deep in the infrastructure layer where platform engineering, automation, and mission performance come together. You will help build and sustain the services that keep HPC environments manageable and secure, with work spanning Linux tooling, secret management, IAM integration, containerization, CI/CD, and orchestration. It is a strong fit for an engineer who likes solving infrastructure problems with code and building services that make complex environments easier to operate.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contribution 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 software role. It is a chance to improve the foundation that other teams and systems depend on.

  • Develop and maintain system management infrastructure software and services for HPC systems in a Linux environment
