Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers, bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking to military systems.
The Imaging team builds and fields state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems deployed to solve real security challenges. This role is part of the Imaging Interfaces team and focuses on mission software engineering with a unique blend of development and operational support.
This is not a pure product development role. You will spend meaningful time keeping fielded systems alive, triaging issues across the full stack, and serving as a technical representative for products in integrations with external teams and customers. The work is varied and sometimes ambiguous—you might spend a morning extending a gRPC service, an afternoon diagnosing a time sync issue on a deployed device over the phone with a field operator, and a week traveling to support a customer integration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems, triaging and diagnosing issues whether the root cause is in code, firmware, network, or hardware
- Building and maintaining production services that run on edge-compute devices in austere environments, ensuring reliability, observability, and maintainability
- Supporting field operations by working directly with field operators and non-technical users to diagnose and resolve issues on deployed hardware
- Serving as a subject matter expert in integrations with other products and teams, both remotely and on-site
- Developing broad fluency across the hardware, firmware, networking, and software stack
- Collaborating across firmware, hardware, and platform engineering teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality
- Travel expected approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations
You will own your software end-to-end in a fast-moving environment where the stakes are real.
REQUIREMENTS:
Required:
- 5+ years of experience in software development with meaningful production responsibility—owning systems after they ship, not just shipping features
- Strong Python and C++ skills; ability to work effectively in either language
- 5+ years working in Linux-based environments, including bare-metal hardware
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries (networking, services, hardware interaction) without always having full visibility into every component
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical problems clearly to non-technical audiences
- Willingness to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance
Preferred:
- Experience with gRPC or similar RPC frameworks
- Familiarity with systems service management and observability practices on Linux
- React/JSX experience
- Familiarity with Nix or NixOS
- Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems, not just development environments
