Frontend Software Engineer, Federal

Job description

**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?**

GA-I3 combines the staying power of an experienced defense contractor with the agility and values of a mission-focused technology company.

We’ve spent decades building systems our users love—trusted tools used daily by operators and analysts across the national security community.

Our customers keep coming back because we deliver what we promise, and our engineers stay because they get to solve real problems that truly matter.
We’re not a flashy startup.

We don’t chase headlines—we focus on delivering reliable capabilities with long-term impact.

And while we share DNA with traditional defense contractors, we operate differently.

As a privately held company, we make decisions based on what’s right for the mission, not for a quarterly earnings call.

We move fast when it counts, think long-term, and hold ourselves to the highest technical and ethical standards.
If you're looking for a place where you can build real systems, solve hard problems, and serve a higher purpose—without the red tape—GA-I3 is where you belong.

**What You’ll Do**

We are seeking **Frontend Software Engineers** to help build the next generation of global situational awareness and battle orchestration capabilities.

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.

+ **Collaborative Culture** – Working as a team to push boundaries and innovate
