As a Software Developer at INflow Federal, you'll build and ship AI features for Ontology-based mission applications supporting an Intelligence Community customer. This is TS/SCI, on-site work at Patriot Ridge in Springfield, VA — the applications you write go directly to systems and analysts working real intelligence problems.
In this role, you will develop LLM-enabled workflows and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities inside existing mission software, integrate data streams from multiple sources and network environments into the customer's system, and execute cloud platform migrations across AWS, OpenShift, and Kubernetes. You'll work in Python, Java, and Scala on an agile scrum team, applying DevSecOps practices — code hardening, automated security scanning, CI/CD — so that what you build survives contact with complex, secure networks.
Here, your work is more than a job—it's a journey in innovation. With opportunities to work on high-impact projects, access to the latest technologies, and a culture that thrives on creativity and collaboration, INflow Federal is where your expertise can truly make a difference.
