Full Job Description
Analyst / Developer

At Intelliforce, we support mission work that demands both technical depth and fast execution. In this role, you will operate as an analyst and developer with strong Python skills, working across a broad set of mission-critical efforts tied to new tools, plugins, and operational tradecraft. You will help design automations, analyze technical data, conduct vulnerability analysis, and turn evolving customer needs into practical solutions that support the mission in real time.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you unusual range. You will touch nearly every part of the development lifecycle while also contributing as a technical analyst. One day might focus on Python automation. Another might involve vulnerability analysis, tradecraft development, or direct customer outreach. The work is hands-on, fast-moving, and closely tied to operational needs, which makes it a strong fit for someone who likes solving real problems and staying close to the mission.

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 technical work gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another engineering role. It is a chance to build, analyze, and improve capabilities that support real operations.

Here's What Your Day-to-Day Could Include
• Design, develop, and maintain automated workflows using Python
• Conduct vulnerability analysis across mission-focused technical problems
• Develop and document new tradecraft and operational approaches
• Execute customer requests and translate them into practical technical outcomes
• Perform customer outreach and maintain close collaboration with mission stakeholders
• Analyze technical data and support tooling across the full development lifecycle

Clearance: Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active. We do not have the ability to sponsor clearances
Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen. We cannot sponsor visas

• Four additional years of relevant experience may be substituted in place of a Bachelor's degree

Required Skills
• Strong Python experience
• Data parsing and manipulation experience
• Networking knowledge and protocol familiarity
• Experience with open source research
• Knowledge of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
• Familiarity with Git
• Experience with Atlassian tools including Jira and Confluence
