About the role
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) division builds next-generation electronic warfare platforms — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems that are fielded, in production, and scaling from hundreds to thousands of units. The EW team operates at a tempo the defense industry isn't used to: delivering novel system configurations into active operations in days, not months, and iterating based on direct operator feedback from the field.
We are building a new Mission Software Engineering (MSE) team to own the full software lifecycle for EW products — from development and integration through deployment, sustainment, and customer success. If you want to write software that ships to real missions on aggressive timelines, this is the team.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for Mission Software Engineers who are strong generalists and fast learners. You don't need to be an expert in electronic warfare — you need to be the kind of engineer who can pick up any part of the stack, figure out how it works, and make it better. The problems here span embedded systems, backend services, data pipelines, deployment infrastructure, integration with Lattice OS, and operator-facing tools. You'll get deep exposure to RF and EW concepts on the job, working alongside domain experts.
What matters most is your engineering fundamentals, your ability to ship reliable software under pressure, and your willingness to own problems end-to-end — from understanding the mission need to getting working code into the hands of operators.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop and maintain mission-critical software across the EW product stack
- Build and improve deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management systems
- Integrate EW systems with the broader Anduril Lattice ecosystem
- Debug and resolve issues in production and field-deployed systems
- Develop operator-facing tools and interfaces that make complex systems usable in high-stakes environments
- Work with embedded software and DSP engineers to bridge the gap between algorithm development and field-deployable software
- Participate in field deployments, integration events, and customer engagements
- Contribute to a culture of engineering quality through code review, testing, and documentation
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 1–4 years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent: strong internships, open source contributions, research)
- Proficiency in at least one of: Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript
- Comfort working in Linux environments
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, systems concepts
- Desire to learn new domains quickly — you'll pick up RF, EW, and defense-specific concepts on the job
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, unstructured environment where priorities shift based on mission needs
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
- Willingness to travel up to 30%
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with Haskell or Rust
- Familiarity with Nix/NixOS
- Experience with embedded systems, real-time systems, or hardware/software integration
- Exposure to signal processing, RF systems, or software-defined radio
- Experience with containerized deployments or infrastructure-as-code
- Experience with distributed systems or networking
- Contributions to open source projects in typed functional programming languages
