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.

  • Build, test, deploy, and demonstrate mission-critical code in a tight feedback loop with end users.
  • Travel up to 25% of the time to participate in customer events and deploy capabilities in real-world scenarios.
  • Contribute to the development of existing software services across Anduril, aiming to develop reusable components that contribute to success across multiple Anduril product lines.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics
  • Proficiency with web-based technologies, specifically React and Typescript
  • Ability to empathize with end-users, to turn needs into features, and to balance user experience with engineering constraints
  • Experience with real-time user interfaces that use reactive programming libraries - ReactJS or similar
  • 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
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
