I see people disagree with me. I can see a lot of bases on which people would disagree and it would be interesting to see which ones apply.
Because OP’s job is technical rather than policy oriented, it is unlikely that a difference in character in the person doing the job would make a difference in outcomes. I might agree in a context where there the occupant of the job might be able to make a difference in policy choice.
Taking a job and supporting a morally wrong industry is wrong regardless of whether the same wrong would result counterfactually.
There are reasons to believe the counterfactual of OP taking the job would be better (for instance, OP might be significantly more competent than the one who would be counterfactually hired).

Other reasons? Curious
