General Atomics • Durham, NC • 3d ago

General Atomics Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-Intelligence), an affiliate of General Atomics, maintains and deploys production systems for users across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and commercial industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities, including THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL, that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich live view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it's doing. We're dedicated to transforming data into actionable insights through innovative system engineering approaches. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!

Why GA-I3?

At GA-Intelligence, 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-Intelligence, 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:

At GA-Intelligence, we view entry-level engineers not just as contributors, but as long-term investments in our future. You'll be given opportunities to make real contributions to active projects while receiving mentorship, structured training, and support for your growth. We expect junior engineers to learn quickly, ask questions, and take initiative as they build confidence and capability on the job.

Implement, document, test, and deploy software for a variety of systems with support from more experienced engineers

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
