Job description

Senior Front End Software Engineer, React

Arlington, Virginia, United States; Seattle, Washington, United States; Washington, District of Columbia, United States

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

The Strategic Defense team at Anduril protects the United States and its allies from ballistic, hypersonic, and air-breathing threats. Those threats now arrive in seconds, maneuver mid-flight, and come in volleys designed to overwhelm the legacy systems meant to stop them — so we're building a software-defined command and control layer that can see, decide, and act faster than any human operator could alone. Our team spans autonomy, tracking, simulation and wargaming, hardware, systems engineering, and test and evaluation to build an accredited fire control system fielded rapidly and at scale. We are at the forefront of incubating and maturing AI-native offerings for the integrated air and missile defense domain.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Software Engineer in Strategic Defense, you will write code side-by-side with elite peers to solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more. We absolutely need React experience for this role. You will be owning all front end decisions for a team of 30+ engineers. You’ll make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way to ensure Anduril products achieve a variety of desired outcomes in ambiguous situations where more is on the line than money or corporate gains. By working hand-in-hand with powerhouse teams in AI, Edge Hardware, Space Solutions, Networking, and Test Engineering you will craft cutting-edge, end-to-end systems that redefine mission success for major strategic capabilities.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Develop tools and capabilities that extend Anduril's Lattice OS to solve unique customer problems in the command and control of complex assets, the planning and execution of missile defense missions, networking, and remote asset management in far-edge environments.


• Collaborate closely with customers, product designers, and other engineering teams to shape and build new software products and applications, optimizing for maximum value to the end user.


• Build, test, deploy, and demonstrate mission-critical code in a tight feedback loop with end users.


• Travel up to 25% of the time to participate in customer events and deploy capabilities in real-world scenarios.


• Contribute to the development of existing software services across Anduril, aiming to develop reusable components that contribute to success across multiple Anduril product lines.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics


• Proficiency with web-based technologies, specifically React and Typescript


• Ability to empathize with end-users, to turn needs into features, and to balance user experience with engineering constraints


• Experience with real-time user interfaces that use reactive programming libraries - ReactJS or similar


• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases


• A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact


• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Development of military operator-facing user interfaces


• Experience working with military customers


• Distributed communication networks and message standards


• Knowledge of military systems and operational tactics
