About Mach Industries

Mach Industries is building faster, smarter defense infrastructure for the modern era. Backed by Khosla and Sequoia.

About the role

Mach Industries is building the next generation of defense technology at startup speed — and our legal team moves just as fast. We're looking for a Legal Operations Coordinator to be the backbone of a lean, high-output legal function supporting company operations across contracting, defense procurement in the U.S. and internationally, employment, IP, and regulatory compliance (including U.S. export controls).

What they're looking for

  • Some experience or evidence of interest in a legal, paralegal, legal operations, or compliance role — in-house experience at a startup, government contractor, or regulated industry is a strong plus, but not required
  • A genuine self-starter who sees ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle — you'd rather build the process than wait for someone to hand you one
  • Sharp organizational instincts: you can track a dozen open threads at once without dropping any of them
  • Excitement about legal tech and AI more broadly — you're the person who researches a new tool on your own time because you think it'll make the team faster
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, you can extract the right information from a non-lawyer stakeholder without making them feel interrogated
  • High attention to detail — this is a company where contract terms and compliance details carry real regulatory weight
