Integration Engineer

Orbis is a technology company that delivers sovereign intelligence and decision capabilities to the United States Government and its allies. We convert complex information and operational systems into decisive outcomes, giving public institutions and critical enterprises the tools to move faster, see clearer, and act first in an increasingly contested world.

We are not a consulting firm and not a systems integrator. Every Orbis team is built around practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, and every engagement is judged on one thing: whether it produces working capability, not slide decks. Solutions forged from experience; that is how we build, and it is how we hire.

Job Summary

Orbis is seeking an Integration Engineer to join a deployed integration team supporting an ongoing program for a government client in the Middle East. You will work alongside a Senior Integration Engineer who serves as your day-to-day technical lead and primary escalation point. In this role, you will participate directly in customer technical discovery sessions, contribute to the design and implementation of data connectors and integration plugins, and support deployment and validation of integrations across the customer environment.

You are expected to execute assigned work with increasing autonomy while developing sharp judgment about when to bring in the Senior IE rather than pushing forward alone. Node deployment and platform infrastructure use provided tooling and established runbooks; your responsibility on the infrastructure side is correct configuration, validation, and first-level triage. Software-layer issues are escalated to the platform product team. This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who executes well, learns fast, and understands that knowing when to flag a problem is as important as solving one.

Travel: This is a remote role with extended travel to the Middle East, including time spent in geopolitical hot zones up to 40% of the time. Please apply if you are willing to meet this requirement.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute integration delivery for assigned data sources: requirements analysis, connector design, implementation, testing, deployment, and validation in the target environment
• Participate in customer technical discovery sessions alongside the Senior IE: contribute to mapping customer network topology, data sources, system dependencies, and operational constraints that inform integration and deployment decisions
• Implement data connectors and integration plugins (producer bridges, operators, consumer bridges) for assigned source systems across air, land, maritime, air defense, space, and cyber domains
• Develop judgment about when to proceed independently and when to flag the Senior IE; escalate ambiguity, blockers, or anything outside established patterns before it becomes a problem
• Deploy and validate integrations across customer environments (cloud‑native, on‑premises, and tactical edge) using provided Ansible and Helm tooling
• Stand up and configure platform nodes using established runbooks and provided deployment tooling; validate cluster health and configuration correctness post‑deployment
• Contribute to Tier 1 team triage alongside the Senior IE; help diagnose integration‑layer issues and support the team's characterization of problems before escalation
• Follow and contribute to integration documentation, runbooks, and onboarding guides
• Support customer technical exchanges within your integration domain under the direction of the Senior IE or Program Technical lead

Required Qualifications

• 2-4 years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on system integrations or data pipelines
• Proficiency in Go (preferred) or Python for integration development
• Demonstrated…
