Merrillville: Software9

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.

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.

Two standing meetups a month: 3rd Friday 12:00-2:00 PM CT (lunch) and 1st Saturday 11:00 AM-1:00 PM CT (brunch) · in-person · Catch Table & Tap, Merrillville

security networking

Northwest Indiana's cybersecurity community, run by a Chesterton-based security engineering director who founded it to give Region practitioners somewhere to meet without driving to Chicago. Two standing get-togethers a month at a Merrillville restaurant on US-30 -- a third-Friday lunch and a first-Saturday brunch -- open to working security people and to students and career-changers trying to break in; you buy your own meal. A public Discord carries the conversation between meetups, and the group puts on the RegionSec Summit at Purdue Northwest each October.

1 Million Cups Northwest Indiana

recurring beginner-friendly

2nd and 4th Wednesdays monthly, 8:30-10:00 AM CT (doors and coffee 8:30, two presenters 9:00-10:00) · in-person · Purdue Technology Center of Northwest Indiana (Indiana SBDC Northwest office), Crown Point

startups networking

The Region's chapter of the Kauffman Foundation's national founder meetup: free coffee at 8:30 on the second and fourth Wednesday, then two local early-stage founders each give a six-minute pitch and take twenty minutes of audience questions, with open coworking afterward. The venue rotates among the Region's entrepreneur hubs -- the Purdue Technology Center in Crown Point (which houses the SBDC office that organizes it), Purdue Northwest's CMEC in Hammond, and Lower Lincoln in downtown Valparaiso. Not a developer meetup, but it is the one standing room where Northwest Indiana's startup founders, SBDC advisors and would-be cofounders are in the same place on a weekday morning.

Vidette Makes - Makers' Monthly Meetup

recurring beginner-friendly

4th Thursday monthly, 6:00 PM CT, then drinks at a nearby business · in-person · McMillan Hall, Valparaiso

hardware iot networking

Northwest Indiana's maker community, a Valparaiso 501(c)(3) working toward opening a physical makerspace. The monthly meetup is an informal talk night: a member or guest presents on something they build -- electronics, 3D printing, code, woodworking, sound -- and the group moves to a bar afterward. Explicitly open to anyone curious rather than to credentialed makers; the Meetup page's topic tags lean security and programming, there is an active Slack, and at 569 members it is the largest tech-adjacent group in the Region.

Irregular; Code & Connect ran on Thursday evenings (6:00-6:30 PM CT start) in late 2025 and January 2026 · in-person · The HUB NWI (restored former church), Hebron

hardware design gamedev networking

A nonprofit art-and-technology makerspace in a restored church in Hebron, south of Valparaiso -- 3D printers, laser and vinyl cutters, electronics and a recording setup alongside the kiln and woodshop. Its Meetup group ran a small Code & Connect evening for developers and digital artists through January 2026, and family game nights before that. The space itself is active, but no coding meetup has been listed since.

A one-evening cybersecurity summit at Purdue Northwest's Hammond campus: two tracks of 40-minute talks from working incident responders and CISOs (the 2025 speakers came from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, Rapid7, UChicago Medicine and PatientPoint), a beginner-friendly capture-the-flag on password cracking, OSINT and forensics, an IoT security village, a student-resources table with resume and LinkedIn help, and an ask-me-anything closing panel. Tickets were $10 for professionals and $5 for students in 2025. Built explicitly for people trying to get into the field as much as for those already in it.
