ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Cyber is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of capabilities to enable offensive cyber missions. Cyber is a new business line at Anduril, and relies upon our fleet of autonomous vehicles, the Lattice operating system, mesh networks, and other hardware products to engage in cyber operations at the edge. We design and build novel solutions to deploy cyber capabilities in unconventional or difficult to reach environments. The new Lattice for Cyber team will build the core capabilities, experiences, and primitives that allow our Cyber products to operate reliably at scale. This is a founding team working from an unusually blank sheet of paper.

You will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Above all, Anduril engineers on this team are driven by a "Whatever It Takes" mindset - executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes on-time and with high quality. Not only will you build the software, you'll have the opportunity to work with the customer's to deploy it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Work with design teams and cyber subject matter experts to build a brand new UX product that enables US and allied nations to perform offensive cyber missions at scale.
• Design and build an extensible React-based component system as a foundation for other cyber teams to build upon for their customer's use cases and integrations.
• Build the UX that powers our offensive cyber products such as command and control, autonomous cyber behavior trees, SIGINT analysis tools, and data exfiltration pipelines.
• Work directly with program teams and customers as they build real missions on your products.
• Contribute to technical leadership, design clarity, and long-term maintainability across a growing software stack.
• Incorporate AI/LLM-enabled workflow features where they improve analyst or operator effectiveness without compromising system reliability.
• Contribute back to the Lattice software platform core, allowing your products to provide value across the entire company.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of experience designing, building, and operating production software.
• Strong front-end engineering experience in modern TypeScript/React application development, Angular, Vue.js or similar tools.
• Ability to debug across the full stack, including logs, networking, interfaces, configuration, and hardware/software boundaries.
• Practical experience with Linux and containerized deployment.
• Comfort collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams and translating ambiguous requirements into clean user experiences.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical reviews and architecture discussions.
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Washington, DC or the Orange County, CA metro areas.
• Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time support program teams and customer events.
• US security clearance eligible

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
