After graduating as a physician, Mašin left his hometown in what was then part of Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic) to seek employment in the principality of Serbia on 5 April 1846. He was for many years a medical doctor in Valjevo where he played an important role in containing the plague that broke out in 1848. As a volunteer physician in the Serbian military, he also held the rank of Lieutenant colonel during the List of Serbian-Ottoman conflicts incident and Serbian Wars for Independence in conjunction with the Principality of Montenegro.
