Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems, AI, and sensor fusion. The Maritime Division is building next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles and platforms including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry systems.
As a Manager of Software Engineering, you will lead a team of 4–10 software engineers responsible for delivering critical software components across autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and command-and-control systems. You'll own end-to-end outcomes for major software systems integrated into autonomous maritime platforms, from architecture and design through deployment, operation, and evolution.
Key responsibilities include: architecting scalable software solutions that balance end-user needs with multi-stakeholder constraints; managing a 6–18 month team roadmap and allocated budget; collaborating across Anduril teams to develop reusable components; designing and executing development processes including full lifecycle testing and monitoring; managing programmatic and technical risk; mentoring engineers from diverse backgrounds; and communicating organizational vision and strategy to your team. You'll work closely with a Technical Lead on architecture decisions and report to a manager who may not have a software engineering background. Travel to co-locate with end-users and other teams is expected up to 20% of the time.
Required: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Engineering, or equivalent; proven management experience in a high-performing technology organization; extensive professional software engineering experience across multiple domains and technologies; ability to lead holistic software-enabled capability development across the full stack and product lifecycle; and ownership mindset for complex software systems.
