Integration Engineer

Orbis is seeking an Integration Engineer to join one of three integration teams building and fielding data integrations for an ongoing program supporting a government client in the Middle East. You will work under a Senior Engineer (Team Lead) alongside a Senior Integration Engineer who serves as your day-to-day engineering mentor and first escalation point. In this role, you will onboard and configure data sources (sensors, C2 systems, and operational feeds) into a secure, multi-cluster data governance and mesh platform, deploy and manage platform nodes, and support the customer in taking ownership of their environment. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who is comfortable working across systems, protocols, and customer teams in fast-moving operational contexts.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

* Onboard and configure new data sources into the data governance and mesh pipeline: producers, operators, and consumers

* Deploy and manage platform nodes across environments using Helm charts and established runbooks

* Maintain and tune active integrations: monitoring health, diagnosing pipeline issues, and applying fixes

* Manage mesh-bridge connectivity and cross-mesh routing for deployed data sources

* Contribute to and follow integration documentation, runbooks, and onboarding guides

* Collaborate with the Senior Integration Engineer and core platform team to surface platform issues encountered during integration work

* Support customer-facing deployments: bundling, validating, and coordinating data source releases

* Enable customer technical ownership through hands-on training and knowledge transfer

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

* 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on system integrations and data pipelines

* Proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js

* Experience with GraphQL and pub/sub architectures (Zenoh or equivalent)

* Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes/Helm)

* Strong debugging skills and comfort operating independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

* Strong collaboration and communication skills in distributed, remote, cross-functional teams

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

* Familiarity with defense data standards and protocols: ASTERIX, Cursor on Target (CoT), STANAG, radar UDP

* Background with military, law enforcement, or intelligence community operations and organizations

* Experience supporting international programs with distributed, cross-cultural teams

* Understanding of service mesh concepts, mTLS, and zero-trust network architectures

* Familiarity with edge-native deployment patterns and constrained operational environments

* Experience with customer enablement, technical training, or knowledge transfer in field environments

* Fluency with AI-assisted development tooling (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or equivalents) as part of daily engineering practice
