About The Team

The Tactical Reconnaissance and Strike division at Anduril develops a diverse set of robotic systems and tactical command platforms. The team is responsible for taking products such as Ghost, Anvil, Altius, and Bolt from paper sketches to integrated, operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Command and Control (C2), Perception, Autonomy, and Manufacturing to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers, and at high volume. We are looking for software engineers, roboticists, and full-stack engineers who are excited about creating a powerful tactical platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of end user interfaces.

About The Job

We are looking for C2 Software Engineers to join our team. As a C2 Software Engineer at Anduril, you will be architecting and building out ground control automation software, implementing user interface applications from backend to frontend, deploying them to users, and making sure they're meeting users' requirements directly. You will be working alongside a team of engineers with diverse backgrounds as well as engaging with internal and external stakeholders. The C2 software is every Anduril customer's view into our company and products, so the reward is high and the opportunity is unbounded. The Tactical C2 Software team has openings for web/cloud (React/AWS), mobile (Android), and embedded software (Linux/NixOS) engineering specialties, so you choose how to make an impact on our team!
