Merrillville: Software7
Jobs
Open Merrillville software jobs
Every open software job across Northwest Indiana — Merrillville and the rest of Lake County, including Hammond, Gary, Crown Point and Hobart; Porter County out to Valparaiso and Chesterton; LaPorte County up to Michigan City; and the farm country of Jasper and Newton south of the Kankakee — pulled straight from each employer’s own careers feed and laid out plainly, with no aggregator noise in between. The Region is a headquarters cluster wearing industrial clothes: a Fortune 500 utility and two bank holding companies run their technology from here, four hospital systems run Epic and everything around it, and two integrated steel works and the largest refinery in the Midwest carry the controls and OT-security population that goes with them. National boards file all of it under “Chicago.” I keep it Indiana-filed and primary-sourced so wherever you are in the search, the next step is a little easier.

Front End Web Developer
No AI mention
Merrillville
Summary
Front-end engineering on the web application of a file-integrity-monitoring and compliance product, owning the overall web architecture and building new screens, reports, dashboards and other interface functionality. The role covers the full web development process from design through deployment, including mockups and prototypes from designer input, secure coding and data protection, writing functional requirement documents, and helping back-end developers with coding and troubleshooting. Worth noting that the front end straddles two generations of the same framework: experience with AngularJS 1.8 and/or Angular 13 is asked for directly, so legacy maintenance sits alongside new feature work.

Summary
Leadership seat owning the data platform at an instrumentation manufacturer, defining and executing a roadmap onto a lakehouse architecture that unifies shop-floor operational and IIoT data with sales and commercial data for both real-time analytics and AI and machine-learning workloads.

The bar is explicit and high: 15 or more years in data strategy, architecture and engineering with at least five leading data and analytics teams, hands-on lakehouse deployment at scale, and availability outside core business hours including nights, weekends and holidays, working across both office and manufacturing environments.

Backend C/C++ Software Engineer - Merrillville, IN
No AI mention
Merrillville
Summary
Backend development on a commercial file-integrity-monitoring and compliance product, writing and maintaining C/C++ applications across multiple platforms alongside the rest of the engineering team. The work runs from scoping projects with internal stakeholders and application design through diagnostic testing, debugging, bug fixes, maintenance and upgrades, and includes advanced SQL query development and optimization. Secure coding and data protection are part of the brief, since the product being built monitors files, registry, configuration settings, users, policies and network devices for unauthorized change and can roll them back to an approved state.

About this page
Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or names LLM/agent/RAG/embeddings as core to the day-to-day; AI mentioned when the description mentions AI tooling in passing without it being the core skill; No AI mention when the description contains none of the relevant keywords. Each row shows the matched keyword evidence inline and surfaces named AI developer-productivity tools as expanded-row chips, so you can judge the signal for yourself.
The geographic filter is opinionated, and here it is five counties: the Lake–Porter–Jasper metropolitan division (which still includes Newton, despite the 2023 rename dropping it from the name) plus the Michigan City–La Porte MSA next door. Unlike every other board on this site, the core county does not collapse to one label. Merrillville is the anchor because the headquarters are there — NiSource and NIPSCO, Centier Bank, White Lodging, MonoSol — but Hammond and Gary are both larger cities, so filing their postings under “Merrillville” would be a lie the map would then repeat. Every municipality outside Merrillville carries its own city label, its own county, and its own pin: Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Whiting, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Crown Point, Hobart, Schererville, St. John, Dyer and the rest of Lake County; Portage, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Burns Harbor and Hebron in Porter; Michigan City, La Porte, Westville and Long Beach in LaPorte; and Rensselaer, DeMotte, Morocco and Kentland in the rural south. The board stops at the Illinois line, and for many people here that is the wrong side of the commute — a large share of the Region works in Cook and Will counties. It stays out anyway: admitting Illinois to the filter would let every “Chicago, IL” posting in the corpus through, and Region employers post their Region roles with Region cities, which is what this board shows. Berrien County, Michigan and St. Joseph County (South Bend’s own board) are out for the same reason of not claiming a neighbor’s shed. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has an office, plant or campus somewhere in the five counties — otherwise anywhere-in-the-US remote noise would swamp the page. Use the Location filter to narrow to a specific city.
This page is an independent aggregation. Mungomash is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the employers listed. Application-status tracking and email alerts are out of scope. Per-posting salary ranges are surfaced inline when the employer discloses one — structured ATS fields first, JD-body prose as a fallback; rows with no disclosed range render no chip.
