Role
Who you are
- If you love building infrastructure, platform services, or just working in high performing engineering cultures we invite you to apply!
- 7+ years working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. If you've succeeded in a low structure, high autonomy environment you'll succeed here!
- At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc
- Have experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities
- Want to work on building and integrating model/software/hardware-in-the-loop components by leveraging first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more)
- Love building platform and infrastructure tooling that enables other software engineers to scale their output
- Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale
- Are a U.S. Person because of required access to U.S. export controlled information
Desirable
- You've built or invented something: an app, a website, game, startup
- Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CICD systems, etc
- A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node
- Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements
- Experience with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems)
- Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
- Experience implementing robot or autonomous vehicle testing frameworks in a software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environment
- Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform)
- Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process
- Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices
- A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration
What the job involves
- We build Lattice, the foundation for everything we do as a defense technology company
- Our engineers are talented and hard-working, motivated to see their work rapidly deployed on the front lines
- Our team is not just building an experiment in waiting, we deploy what we build on the Southern border, Iraq, Ukraine and more
- We have open roles across Platform Engineering, ranging from core infrastructure to distributed systems, web development, networking and more
- We hire self-motivated people, those who hold a higher bar for themselves than anyone else could hold for them

Our take
Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.
This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.
Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
