Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril's Security Engineering team is looking for a Software Engineer to design and build a modern identity platform that protects the infrastructure around our defense technology products.

Build an identity engine that powers the whole company and supercharges our security program.

Create applications that enable and enforce our identity framework across the company.

Develop integrations that unify identities across IdPs, cloud providers, SaaS tools, and internal systems.

Automate identity lifecycle operations: provisioning, access reviews, offboarding.

Collaborate with other IAM engineers and partner teams to define architecture and ship iteratively.

Strong programming ability in one or more general purpose languages (Go, Rust, etc).

Experience with one or more infrastructure as code languages (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK) in a production capacity.

Experience with identity protocols (SAML, OIDC, SCIM, OAuth) or identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, etc.).

Proven ability to translate system design requirements into clean, maintainable implementations.

Experience leading or contributing to architecture and design reviews.

Experience working with cloud platforms and deploying applications through CI/CD pipelines.

Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of projects, and collaborate across teams.

Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.

Have worked in environments with complex identity or access issues, troubleshooting across distributed systems.

Familiarity with RBAC, ABAC, or policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., OPA, Cedar).

Experience building bespoke solutions in high-growth and high-complexity environments.

Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP ecosystems and tooling.
