Software Developer

Remote or Hybrid (Honolulu, Hawaii)Full-Time$110,000 – $150,000 / Annual

MC3 Technologies is a Hawaii-born defense technology and integration company serving defense, federal, and commercial clients across the Pacific and beyond.
We bring cybersecurity, physical security, systems integration, software, and facility delivery together under one roof, so the systems our customers depend on are designed, built, and accredited right the first time.
Wherever we work, we grow local talent and invest in our people as much as in our technology.
How we move: MC3 is an agile, fast-growing company with small teams that have real ownership, decisions made close to the work, and modern tools, including AI, built into how we deliver.
If you want your work to matter quickly and to grow with a company that is still being built, this is the place.

The Software Developer builds and ships MC3's internal platforms and DoD customer applications on our containerized delivery platform, which we are building to IL5 and IL6
