Durham, NC, United States General Atomics Full time
Job Summary

General Atomics Integrated Intelligence Inc. (GA Intelligence) 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 Intelligence?

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 Intelligence is where you belong.

What You'll Do

We're seeking an experienced and people-focused Engineering Manager to lead and grow 3-5 cross-functional software squads building backend systems and analytics capabilities that power mission-critical applications. You'll play a key role in shaping technical direction, mentoring engineering talent, and scaling the team's ability to deliver high-impact outcomes.

This is a hands-on leadership role that involves balancing strategic direction with day-to-day coaching and execution. You'll work closely with product managers, design leads, tech leads, and other stakeholders to ensure your teams ship high-quality, reliable software that supports real-world decision-making under pressure.

  • Team Leadership: Manage 3-5 software squads (typically 4-6 engineers per squad), focusing on performance, growth, team cohesion, and delivery.
  • People Management: Hire, onboard, mentor, and retain high-performing engineers. Support career development and conduct regular feedback and performance reviews.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Data Science, and other Engineering Managers to align goals and deliver value.
  • Continuous Improvement: Foster a culture of continuous learning, operational excellence, and adaptive process improvement across teams.
We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Qualifications
  • Typically requires education or formal training equivalent to the completion of a Bachelors degree in Software Engineering or related discipline and six or more years progressively complex experience. Additional professional experience may be substituted in lieu of education.
  • 2+ years in a people management role
  • Proven success leading multiple agile software teams in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong technical background in backend development (e.g., Java, Typescript, Javascript, or similar) and/or data/analytics systems.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities while maintaining team focus and morale.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and build trust across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance is required.
