Descrizione del lavoro

Anduril Industries is seeking a Software Engineer to own and evolve the Air Defense tower software, integrating radar and infrared payloads, and aligning hardware and software across a modern NixOS-based platform. You will contribute from design through delivery on a mission-critical program, with breadth across sensors, networking, and tooling.

The role emphasizes integration, deployment, and field support over pure algorithmic work, offering exposure to a fast-paced defense program and the

Competenze

• 2+ years of professional software engineering building and shipping real systems.
• Proficiency in Rust or C++, with the ability to work across an existing codebase you didn't write.
• Solid Linux systems fundamentals: the command line, systemd, networking basics, and log-driven debugging.
• Practical experience integrating software with hardware, whether sensors, embedded devices, or instrumentation, and comfort working on a bench with real equipment.
• Demonstrated ability to own a piece of a larger system end to end, including the unglamorous parts: configuration, deployment, testing, and support.
• Clear written communication, since you'll be the interface between a program's requirements and the team's implementation.
• US person status required, with eligibility to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.

Mansioni

• Own the software configuration for the Air Defense tower variants: product definitions, payload and sensor configuration, networking, and image builds in our declarative platform.
• Integrate and support the variants' sensor payloads, particularly radar and infrared camera services, including the configuration and behavior differences that separate them from our perimeter security products.
• Develop features driven by Air Defense program requirements, working from program needs through design, implementation, and delivery into a shipping product.
• Migrate the variants' legacy configuration onto our modern platform base, replacing product-specific one-offs with the common, composable modules the rest of the fleet uses.
• Own the variants' software update and deployment path, and the manufacturing test configuration that validates units as they're built.
• Support the product in the field and on the line: triage issues, reproduce and root-cause them, fix what's yours, and drive what isn't with the owning team.
• Work with the Air Defense program's engineers and stakeholders to keep requirements, schedule, and technical reality aligned.
