Employment Type: Full-time

Team: Software Engineering

Anduril is a defense technology company, bringing Silicon Valley talent and funding to the defense sector. Our technology helps our customers solve their toughest challenges by enabling them to make better, more informed decisions in life-and-death situations. We’ve assembled a diverse team of experts in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, optics, and data analysis that are creating software and hardware solutions to radically evolve the capabilities of the United States and our allies.

If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.

About the role:

Anduril’s Lattice software platform integrates together many sensors into a single cohesive view of the world, providing needed context for our users. Software engineers at Anduril build the systems that run on our autonomous assets, the networking and backend services that integrate large amounts of sensor data, and the user interfaces that display that data in real time.

We believe in having as little separation between engineers and our users as well as between engineering teams. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be working alongside a team of engineers with a diverse set of backgrounds and skills. Anduril has a collaborative culture with plenty of opportunities for ownership. As an early member of the team, your decisions today will have a large impact on the company now and into the future, as well as our customers!

We believe that simple systems are easier to understand, maintain, and scale. You will be making trade-offs as you work to ensure that our systems are prepared to scale - so being able to effectively communicate these trade-offs with your teammates is a must.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Be responsible for the full lifecycle development of software products from problem discovery to solution delivery
• Maintain contextual awareness of technical architecture within your engineering group in order to advise and guide design decisions across the group
• Maintain relationships with delivery teams or other engineering teams (software and hardware!) who use your software products in order to respond and adapt quickly to new missions and use cases
• Mentor and coach other engineers to be well equipped to step into owning parts of the full software engineering lifecycle
• Define what great looks like with regards to software engineering practices
• Balance short term tensions from the business against long term product vision and roadmap

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• To us, a senior software engineer is someone who has had the opportunity to interface with users, understand the problem, independently design and implement software to solve the problem, deliver that software to the user, realize the limitations of their solution and subsequently was excited started that cycle over again armed with lessons learned from user feedback.
• U.S. Person status may be required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

WHAT A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE LOOKS LIKE

• Bias towards delivery and iteration, in order to discover the right use cases to invest engineering time in
• Willing to take risks and own the accountability for managing those risks
• Strong spike in a particular technical area, be it a specific language (we primarily rely on C++, Golang, Typescript and Python), system design (we build distributed and robotics systems), or prototyping (move insanely fast to discover the right product together with users)
• Passionate about solving real world problems, quickly
• Insatiable desire to build and create
• Has designed, built, delivered useful software to users multiple times, we want to hear war stories!

Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you are someone passionate to work on problems that matter, we’d love to hear from you!
