Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join its Air & Missile Defense team in Broomfield, Colorado. You will help shape the technical direction of a small, high-impact team while remaining deeply hands-on in design, implementation, and code review. This role combines individual contribution with technical leadership: you'll mentor and uplevel junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and architectural discussions, while writing production-quality C++ and Python that powers mission-critical systems.
Your responsibilities include prototyping state-of-the-art software solutions in an agile environment and guiding the team from prototype to deployed tactical implementation. You'll 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'll 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.
Anduril's mission is to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. The company's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center. The organization is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
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
