About Mach Industries

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The Role

• Build and support internal application features and workflow automation that help teams work more efficiently. Turn agreed requirements into secure, tested software using established engineering patterns. Collaborate with process owners and platform partners, taking responsibility for assigned features and escalating broader design decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement scoped application features and workflow automations using agreed requirements, acceptance criteria, established patterns, and reusable components rather than duplicate functionality.
• Build APIs and system-of-record integrations with input validation, clear errors, and safeguards against duplicate transactions, using reviewed platform interfaces.
• Write automated tests for feature behavior, authorization, and integration failures; deliver reviewed changes through established CI/CD pipelines and controlled releases.
• Apply approved permissions, secrets management, and sensitive-data controls; add useful diagnostics, investigate assigned feature failures, and document support and recovery steps.
• Demonstrate features to process owners, incorporate scoped feedback, and coordinate interface changes; elevate business-policy questions and shared architecture decisions.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, including implementing and supporting application or service features within reviewed designs and agreed requirements.
• Ability to write maintainable code in a language such as Python, TypeScript, Java, or C#, following established application patterns.
• Working knowledge of HTTP APIs, relational databases, input validation, transactions, and common failure modes when integrating applications with enterprise systems.
• Ability to write automated unit and integration tests, diagnose defects, and deliver changes through version control, code review, and CI/CD.
• Working understanding of authentication, authorization, secrets management, and sensitive-data handling, including applying approved controls to application features and integrations.
• Ability to clarify scoped requirements, explain feature behavior to stakeholders, document operational steps, and communicate risks or decisions needing escalation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering an internal tool, workflow automation, or enterprise application integration used by business or engineering teams.
• Experience improving application diagnostics, support documentation, or automated release workflows to reduce recurring operational support work.
• Experience using shared data or AI platform interfaces within applications without duplicating shared services or transactional responsibilities.

Additional Requirements

• Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
