Anduril
Software Engineer, Full Stack
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, 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.
About The Job
The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on building the next generation of autonomous capabilities by leveraging existing Anduril platforms like Ghost or Altius, bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril's Lattice ecosystem, and developing breakthrough systems that will shape the future of the battlefield. We build software services and autonomy algorithms that solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. As a Full-Stack Engineer on the Maneuver Dominance team, you will architect and deliver systems for fleets of heterogeneous autonomous systems in complex operational environments. This role requires technical versatility across the stack, from backend services and infrastructure to frontend interfaces. Above all, engineers within Maneuver Dominance 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 correctly, on-time, and with high quality.
What You'll Do
Build robust, high-performance backend services that coordinate fleets of autonomous systems with downstream components in C++ and Rust handling scenario execution, physics modeling, and autonomy.
Design and implement APIs, and data pipelines that power systems for the full mission lifecycle from design and planning to live operation and post-analysis debrief.
Shape the operator experience by contributing frontend components that visualize real-time sensor data and mission state, building interactive map overlays, telemetry dashboards, and mission planning interfaces.
Deploy and maintain services on Kubernetes infrastructure, ensuring reliability and performance.
Own the integration between applications, working with gRPC/protobuf and other platform primitives to create seamless workflows.
Collaborate closely with robotics engineers, autonomy specialists, and operators to translate sophisticated technical capabilities into reliable, performant features.
Identify bottlenecks and optimize specific features across the stack, from database queries and service latency to rendering performance.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field; or equivalent industry experience.
2+ years of professional industry experience working with both compiled and scripting languages (Go, C++, Rust, Typescript, Python, etc).
Experience building and deploying distributed systems with containerization and orchestration platforms (K8s).
Understanding of databases, data modeling, and system architecture.
Familiarity with gRPC/protobuf or similar RPC technologies.
Ability to work across the stack, from infrastructure and backend services to frontend applications.
A bias for action, extreme ownership, and the drive to see projects through from concept to production.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active UKSV Security Clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code and declarative build systems (Bazel, Nix).
Experience with VR/AR development (Unity, Unreal) or simulation environments.
Experience in defense, aerospace, robotics, or other real-time C2 systems.
