Job description

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, 3‑D 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 Lattice Command and Control (C2) UI team builds and maintains the common web application components that bring the Lattice for C2 primitives to web applications across Anduril’s different divisions. We serve as the backbone of the C2 application development process, enabling our engineers to focus on building innovative features for Lattice applications rather than reinventing infrastructure. Our team develops the shared building blocks utilized throughout Anduril's customer‑facing web applications to communicate with the Lattice C2 backend services to understand the common operating picture, convey intent to autonomous agents, store and access files across Lattice, and more. Our mission is to accelerate development cycles and equip our engineering teams with a robust framework to interact with Lattice OS to create exceptional web applications that advance Anduril's defense technology goals.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our growing team during its formative stage. In this position, you will help shape how Anduril engineers build and deliver web software. You will contribute to designing and implementing foundational web frameworks to interact with Lattice OS services. Your work will span multiple technical domains as you identify friction points and craft elegant solutions to improve our development infrastructure. This role requires a solid foundation in web technologies, efficient front‑end data structures, and the ability to optimize communication with the back‑end. If you’s a collaborative problem‑solver who finds satisfaction in creating tools that amplify the effectiveness of other engineers, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain tooling that helps Anduril increase engineering velocity and product quality
• Proactively identify pain points and opportunities to improve our dev experience and infrastructure
• Work across the stack (front‑end, back‑end, build, CI/CD) to get things done
• Support and mentor fellow engineers on engineering best practices, and on how to best use our tools

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field; or equivalent industry experience
• Proficiency with modern backend programming languages such as C++, Rust, or Golang.
• Familiarity with algorithms, data structures, automated testing, and other technical tools
• High empathy for your fellow engineers (our customers)
• Minimum 3 years of software engineering experience
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Have a bias for action and taking ownership. You have a track record of solving a problem if you see one.
• Experience maintaining continuous integration systems (we use CircleCI)
• Experience or interest working in monorepos with modern build systems like Bazel, Buck, Nx, etc. (we use Bazel)
• Experience or interest working in Go
• Experience with gRPC/protobuf or similar technologies
