General Atomics Integrated Intelligence Inc. (GA-I3) develops cutting-edge software solutions that transform raw data into actionable intelligence. We specialize in real-time global situational awareness and battle management, processing petabytes of data from hundreds of sources across air, land, and sea. Our systems-including the widely used THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL platforms-support tens of thousands of users at all levels of the DoD and Intelligence Community and enable critical decision-making for national security missions.
We process hundreds of thousands of observations per minute, operating at the scale of global sensor networks and battlefield telemetry. Our backend architecture leverages technologies like Kafka, AWS, NiFi, and GeoMesa-the latter of which we designed and open-sourced-to deliver high-throughput, mission-resilient systems that turn streaming data into real-time intelligence.
Why GA-I3?
At GA-I3, we're not chasing hype or building throwaway demos-we're solving complex, mission-critical problems that matter. Unlike younger firms chasing the next funding round, we've spent decades earning the trust of our users and delivering systems they rely on every day. And unlike traditional defense contractors, we're nimble, privately held, and able to make long-term decisions in the best interest of our customers and our country-not quarterly earnings reports.
Our users love our software. Our customers come back because we deliver. And our engineers stay because they get to work on real problems, with real impact, alongside people who care.
If you're looking for a place where engineering excellence meets enduring mission, GA-I3 is where you belong.
**What You'll Do**
We are seeking Backend Software Engineers to help build the next generation of global situational awareness and battle orchestration capabilities. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams-including UI/UX engineers, mission engineers, data scientists, and product owners-to design and deliver software that is performant, scalable, and tailored to complex user needs.
Whether you're integrating multi-source data, optimizing backend services, or shaping how insights reach the end user, your work will directly support operational missions that have real-world impact.
**What We Believe**
These values weren't crafted in a branding session-they were observed and articulated after 35 years of building software that matters. They reflect how we work, what we value in each other, and the kind of impact we want to have. At GA-I3, they aren't aspirational-they're how we operate.
+ Solving Meaningful Challenges - Building mission-driven technology that makes a difference
+ Collaborative Culture - Working as a team to push boundaries and innovate
+ Technical Excellence - Encouraging continuous learning, curiosity, and efficiency
+ Idea Meritocracy - Valuing ideas based on impact, not hierarchy
If these principles resonate with you-not just in theory, but in daily practice-you'll find yourself at home here.
**DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:**
Mid-level engineers at GA-I3 are trusted contributors who bring solid engineering experience and judgment to every stage of the software lifecycle. You will design, build, and maintain robust backend systems, while collaborating with others to ensure solutions are effective, maintainable, and aligned with mission goals. You'll also play an active role in mentoring junior engineers and shaping technical discussions within your team.
