Software Engineer, Connected Warfare

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.

We are looking for a Mission Software Engineer to join our Mission Command group inside the Connected Warfare Division.

The Connected Warfare division builds systems to support global command and control missions. We create joint, time‑sensitive, multi‑domain, ubiquitous, connected mesh ecosystems.
Our ecosystem enables connected warfare with disproportional impact by connecting every robot, human, and sensor in every domain, bringing together hundreds of thousands of end points across the globe.
We are the substrate that provides the source of truth for time‑sensitive decision, effectively transforming the way that militaries close kill chains and enable mission autonomy.

As a Staff Mission Software Engineer, you will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. Above all, Mission Software Engineers are driven by a “Whatever It Takes” mindset—executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top‑of‑mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on‑time, and with high quality.

• Own software spanning Mission Command
• Deliver well architected systems through clear interfaces across components, code reviews, design reviews and modern software engineering practices.
• Champion test‑ability, portability, monitoring, scalability, reliability, and maintainability as core parts of software delivery.
• Generate software solutions from problem definition and solution design, through to implementation and delivery to customers
• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality
• Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next‑steps
• Travel up to 10% of time to collaborate with teammates and understand real world operating conditions

• A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration, extreme ownership, and strong opinions with low ego
• At least 8+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Java, Python, Rust, Go, JavaScript, etc. (We encourage all levels to apply)
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• A desire to work on critical software that has a real‑world impact
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance

• Experience designing APIs for use in distributed systems
• Experience building modeling and simulation environments for distributed systems operating in non‑standard networking conditions
• Familiarity with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform)
• Familiarity with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems)
• A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi‑cluster cloud node
• Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CICD systems, etc.
• Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices
