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. Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to military systems.
As a Senior Scientific Software Engineer, you will help shape the technical direction of a small, high-impact team while remaining deeply hands-on in design, implementation, and code review. You will mentor and uplevel junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code reviews, technical guidance, and architectural discussions. You will lead by example by writing production-quality C++ and Python that powers mission-critical systems, setting the bar for engineering excellence in CI/CD, unit testing, large-codebase collaboration, and git workflows.
Key responsibilities include prototyping state-of-the-art software solutions in an agile development environment and guiding the team through the path from prototype to deployed, tactical implementation. You will implement high-performance software spanning tactical systems to web applications, use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments to quantify technology benefits, and drive technical interchange meetings and customer engagements. You will own all aspects of the software development lifecycle, helping the team navigate ambiguity and complex technical trade-offs, and communicate complex technical concepts clearly to colleagues, customers, and non-technical stakeholders.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience
- Demonstrated experience mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership on a team while continuing to contribute as a hands-on individual contributor
- Experience supporting and navigating large, complex codebases as part of a collaborative team
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
- Direct experience in air and missile defense domains, such as multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, threat classification, kill chain development, or command-and-control systems (e.g., IBCS, Patriot, Aegis, or similar programs)
- Big data/NoSQL/database technologies
- Software engineering expertise: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization
- Applied mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, statistics, and random processes
- Engineering knowledge: controls, estimation theory, and digital signal processing
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience leading small teams or technical workstreams while remaining a top individual contributor
- Track record of growing engineers through mentorship, code review culture, and technical coaching
- Experience with asynchronous programming, parallel programming, and GPU programming
- Prior experience deploying software to real-world tactical/edge environments
