Machloof was born in 1991 in Bat Yam in Israel. He is the youngest of three children. His father is a butcher and his mother sells women's lingerie. He attended Shazar High School, majoring in theater. At the age of 15, he became increasingly religious and began studying at Kaf HacHaim, an ultra-orthodox yeshiva in Jerusalem. He later distanced himself fom ultra-orthodox Judaism.

At the age of 24 he moved to Tel Aviv and graduated from the Yoram Loewenstein Performing Arts Studio in 2018.

As part of his studies at Yoram Loewenstein's studio, he appeared in the plays "The Lost Women of Troy", "House of Ghosts" and "Hannah in the Haven". He also had a lead role in Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge" in 2018 alongside Niv Sultan.

After graduating, he appeared in the play "Teacher of Life" at the Orna Porat Children's Theater and "Seven" at Beit Lessin Theater in 2018.

In 2021, he appeared in the play "The Kaban" at the Habima Theater, in the role of Benny Efriat, a Golani Brigade fighter.

He is returning to the Habima Theater in December 2025, to star alongside Joy Rieger in Noam Shmuel's production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertold Brecht.

In 2017, he had a supporting role in the second season of Kipat Barzel, about haredi recruits in the Israel Defense Forces.

In 2020, he played the recurring role of Nevo opposite Niv Sultan in the Kan 11 spy series, Tehran.

In 2022, he became a series regular in the HOT comedy series, Chanshi. He plays David, the Mizrahi roommate and love interest of the titular character. He received an Ophir Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of David.

In 2026, he will star in a new series for HOT, The Rais.

In late 2024, he began filming Stay Forte, a new film by Doron Eran. He plays Oren Shamri (based on Alon Shamriz). Shamriz was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel. He was mistakenly identified as a threat by Israeli soldiers during fighting in northern Gaza and killed.
