About the role
US-based | Full-time, Remote
Defense supply chains are broken. Programs stall because procurement teams can't find qualified suppliers fast enough. Parts get delayed. Costs spiral. The US industrial base has the capacity. The system is just inefficient and outdated.
Jiga solves this.
We're the manufacturing platform that teams at NASA, Collins, Archer, and Leidos use to source custom parts. Our AI matches defense buyers directly with qualified US manufacturers, resolves issues before they happen, and builds lasting relationships that turn into repeat production wins. Growing exponentially YoY.
DoD procurement is undergoing its biggest reform in 60 years. The new mandate: speed, efficiency, and mid-tier suppliers. We're positioned to solve exactly the critical problems in the defense industrial base.
