Job description

About Us
ZeroMark builds AI-driven counter-drone systems that actually work in combat. No PowerPoints. No hype. Just field-proven technology that saves lives.
We've doubled year-over-year for two straight years, winning contracts that prove what we've always known: real innovation happens in the dirt, not in conference rooms. Our systems transform standard weapons into AI-powered platforms that detect, track, and neutralize drone threats-because a $200 drone shouldn't require a million-dollar countermeasure.
Here's what makes us different: ZeroMark operators don't build from behind screens. You'll validate tech from Blackhawk helicopters, train alongside Tier-1 units (who happen to be our coworkers), and test at legendary ranges from White Sands to the cliffs of Hawaii. When we say field-tested, we mean you'll shoot it, fly with it, and push it to failure. We don't tweet about changing the world-we're too busy actually doing it. Watch us in action here. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.
If you want to make an actual impact-and have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the way-let's talk. We're all about delivering practical, field-tested tech, not just theories.
What You'll Do
  • Design, develop, test, and deploy robust and scalable software solutions for counter-drone systems.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, data scientists, and subject matter experts, to define system requirements and architecture.
  • Implement algorithms for drone detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation.
  • Optimize software for real-time performance and resource efficiency in embedded and distributed environments.
  • Participate in code reviews, contribute to architectural discussions, and maintain high code quality standards.
  • Troubleshoot and debug software issues, ensuring system reliability and performance.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry best practices in software development and counter-drone capabilities.

What You'll Need
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience in software development, preferably in a defense, aerospace, or security-related domain.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C++, Python, or Java.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design principles.
  • Experience with embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), or distributed systems is a plus.
  • Familiarity with signal processing, computer vision, or machine learning concepts is highly desirable.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
  • U.S. citizenship is required due to government contract requirements.

Bonus Points
  • Experience with sensor integration (e.g., radar, optical, acoustic).
  • Knowledge of communication protocols and networking.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity principles and secure coding practices.
  • Experience with Agile development methodologies.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology with a significant impact on national security.
  • A collaborative work environment that values innovation.
  • Professional development opportunities and career growth.
