Anduril Industries is seeking a Ground Software Engineer to own the architecture and deployment of software solutions supporting space operations and mission management for U.S. military and allied partners. You will develop modular capabilities for the Space Command & Control (C2) system built on the Anduril Lattice AI-powered software platform, handling infrastructure, algorithms, and integrations across orbital and ground systems.
Key responsibilities include owning deployed software solutions, developing Space C2 and Mission Management capabilities for end-to-end mission systems, integrating with legacy defense systems to unlock modern capabilities, and writing code to scale mission capabilities across users and customers. You will collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality, create and analyze metrics for debugging and monitoring, triage issues and coordinate root cause analysis, and partner with end-users to translate needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints.
Required qualifications include a strong engineering background (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics), 4+ years of programming experience with languages such as Java, Python, C++, Rust, Go, or JavaScript, ability to understand and navigate complex systems with minimal oversight, clear communication and documentation skills, experience with Space C2 software systems and spacecraft operations, and eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include expertise in Go, Rust, or C++, experience with deployment tooling (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm), exposure to space ground hardware (sensors, radars, telescopes), experience with space-related simulation and hardware integration, and familiarity with space software standards and modular software services development. This role offers the opportunity to work on critical software with real-world impact in the contested space warfighting domain.
