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 take software from initial development through fielded deployment in operational environments. You will travel up to 30% of the time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world.
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field
- 6+ 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
- Experience taking software from initial development through fielded deployment, working closely with other teams (hardware, systems, program management) to get it into operational use
- Travel up to 30% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. 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, or similar)
- Familiarity with asynchronous programming models (async/await, event loops, futures)
- Comfort working 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 both lab and test site environments
- Familiarity with government reference architectures
- Knowledge of military systems and operational tactics
- Active Secret U.S. security clearance
