Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Mission Systems Software team builds the distributed infrastructure connecting autonomous robotics systems—including the Fury unmanned fighter jet and Barracuda family of advanced effects—to command and control.
You will own resilient, distributed mission software from cradle-to-grave, developing the messaging, orchestration, and networking backbone that ties individual vehicles into coordinated, multi-vehicle operations. Your work will integrate with Lattice OS (Anduril's AI-powered operating system), coordinate fleets of vehicles in the field, and task and manage mission payloads and effects. You'll support the full range of AD&S initiatives: from early concept simulation to live operations and large-scale fleet management.
This role requires close collaboration with hardware, systems, and program management teams to move software from initial development through fielded deployment. You should expect up to 30% travel to build, test, and deploy capabilities in real-world environments.

- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field
- 2–3+ years of production-grade C++, Rust, or equivalent experience in a Linux development environment
- Experience building low-latency, high-performance software solutions
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration
- Experience with Git & GitHub
- Track record of taking software from initial development through fielded deployment, working closely with cross-functional teams
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- Track record of high ownership and bias for action
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with systemd
- Experience building or maintaining distributed systems (message buses, RPC frameworks, consensus protocols)
- Familiarity with asynchronous programming models (async/await, event loops, futures)
- Comfort with Protocol Buffers and/or gRPC
- Experience with DDS
- Deep expertise with k3s and/or STIG'd RHEL
- Experience deploying, debugging, and testing software on physical systems in lab and test site environments
- Familiarity with government reference architectures
- Knowledge of military systems and operational tactics
- Active Secret U.S. security clearance
