Role Overview
This Software Engineer role sits close to Anduril customers and end users, turning operational needs into deployable software for mission command environments. The work spans mesh platforms, data interfaces, system integration, release workflows, and production reliability. It is suited for an engineer who can move between architecture, implementation, debugging, field feedback, and cross-team delivery without losing sight of maintainability or real-world operating constraints.
About Anduril Industries
Anduril Industries builds defense technology for U.S. and allied military use, combining software, autonomy, AI, sensor fusion, networking, and hardware systems. The Connected Warfare organization focuses on software and hardware that support mission-critical command and control capabilities. This posting is for the Mission Command team, which works on systems such as Lattice Mesh, Joint All Domain Command and Control, and related Anduril platforms used in demanding tactical environments.
What You'll Work On
- Own customer-deployed software across mesh networking platforms, data interfaces, and release management workflows.
- Design and deliver maintainable systems with attention to scalability, reliability, testing, portability, and long-term supportability.
- Work with end users to translate complex operational requirements into software features and practical product decisions.
- Coordinate with multiple engineering teams to plan, build, test, and ship functionality that crosses product boundaries.
- Use monitoring data, production signals, and root-cause analysis to diagnose failures and guide response plans.
- Travel 10%-30% for customer engagement, global team collaboration, field testing, deployment, and exposure to real operating conditions.
Must-Have Qualifications
- Active U.S. Secret Clearance and ability to maintain it.
- 3-10+ years of software development experience using languages such as Go, Python, Java, C++, Rust, or similar.
- Engineering foundation from professional experience or academic work in a field such as computer science, software engineering, networking, mathematics, or physics.
- Experience building software that processes and analyzes substantial volumes of data.
- Ability to understand complex systems and become productive in established codebases.
- Interest in developing software tied to high-impact, real-world missions.
Preferred Background
- Experience designing or operating distributed systems.
- Track record of delivering high-quality software quickly, especially in startup or high-growth environments.
- Strong networking depth, including distributed systems that must function under unusual or constrained network conditions.
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure, networking, security, distributed systems, and software infrastructure fundamentals.
- Understanding of computer and network behavior from individual machines through multi-cluster cloud environments.
- Professional SDLC experience using version control, CI/CD systems, and related engineering tools.
- Experience with monitoring, logging, and data management practices.
Skills Breakdown
The clearest must-haves are active Secret clearance, production software engineering experience, data processing, and fluency across languages such as Go, Python, Java, C++, or Rust. Distributed systems, deep networking, AWS, Azure, CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and infrastructure security appear as preferred strengths. The 3-10+ year range suggests a mid-level to experienced engineer who can own delivery while still collaborating closely across teams.
