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 . 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
