DevOps Systems Engineer; Prime Job Corridor North Maryland USA,IT/Tech

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build and sustain the platforms that mission applications depend on every day. In this role, you will support Analytical Application team by helping keep systems secure, interoperable, automated, and ready for operational use.

You will work across systems engineering, software engineering, Information Assurance, testing, and Dev Ops to sustain mission capabilities and improve how applications move through development, integration, and production environments. A major focus will be maintaining reliable data flows between upstream and downstream systems while helping modernize applications.

This is a strong fit for an engineer who understands that successful Dev Ops is more than pipelines. It is the combination of automation, infrastructure, integration, security, observability, and engineering discipline needed to keep mission systems working together.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and mission integration. You will work on the technical foundation that allows applications, services, and data flows to operate together across a larger enterprise environment.

You will help sustain existing capabilities while also refactoring and modernizing systems for greater interoperability within the platform. That means working across CI/CD, containerized environments, infrastructure automation, Linux systems, security compliance, data flows, and application integration rather than staying confined to one layer of the stack.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your technical judgment matters. Because we support prime programs, our engineers stay close to the mission and the teams relying on these systems. 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 is an opportunity to have real influence over how a mission platform is built, integrated, and sustained.

Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include

Provide Dev Ops, systems engineering, software engineering, IA, and testing support across environments
Sustain production capabilities and maintain interoperability with upstream and downstream systems
Monitor and troubleshoot system data flows across integrated mission platforms
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support repeatable build, test, integration, and deployment workflows
Automate infrastructure and operational tasks to reduce manual effort and improve consistency
Support containerized applications and platform services using Kubernetes and Docker
Work with development teams to refactor applications and services for deployment within the platform
Maintain standards and policy compliance across supported systems
Support secure configuration, patching, hardening, and lifecycle sustainment activities
Troubleshoot application, infrastructure, integration, and deployment issues across development and production environments
Develop scripts and automation to improve platform reliability and repeatability
Support observability through centralized logging, metrics, dashboards, and alerting
Participate in system integration, verification, testing, and release activities
Maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures, configuration information, and operational runbooks
Coordinate with developers, system engineers, security teams, testers, and mission stakeholders to resolve technical issues and improve platform reliability
