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.

The Forge team at Anduril is dedicated to developing and maintaining our proprietary supply chain, manufacturing, and deployment mission execution software. This platform is essential for supporting our operations and ensuring that we can swiftly and effectively meet our defense objectives.

Beyond technical excellence, you possess the vision to anticipate future requirements and the communication skills to align cross-functional stakeholders around a common goal. You thrive in dynamic environments, rapidly understand complex systems, and effectively collaborate across engineering disciplines while maintaining the autonomy to execute independently. Your contributions will be instrumental not just in delivering features, but in shaping our engineering culture and establishing technical direction as we continue to transform defense technology.
