Software Engineer, HPC Platform ServicesMake an Impact Where It Matters MostAt 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 OutThis 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.
