Requirements
7+ years of professional software engineering experience
Strong proficiency in at least two of: Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript
Embedded systems, real-time systems, or hardware/software interfaces
Backend services, distributed systems, or data infrastructure
Deployment systems, CI/CD, configuration management, or infrastructure-as-code
Systems integration, networking, or system-of-systems architecture
Responsibilities
The MSE team's scope is broad: embedded software and hardware interfaces, backend services and data pipelines, deployment and configuration management, integration with the Anduril Lattice ecosystem, and operator-facing applications.
At this level, you'll be expected to own significant technical areas, influence the team's engineering practices, mentor junior engineers, and interface directly with customers and operators to ensure our software meets the mission.
Own and drive the technical direction for one or more critical areas of the EW software stack
Architect and implement solutions that work reliably in production, at scale, and in contested operational environments
Debug complex cross-system issues spanning embedded software, networking, applications, and deployed infrastructure
Develop high-performance software — whether that's numerical algorithms for RF data, deployment automation, Lattice integration services, or operator tools
Team
Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) division builds next-generation electronic warfare platforms — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems operating at scale in contested environments. The team recently secured an $85M contract (first tranche of $125M) awarded in under 24 hours from funding, delivered 30 novel system configurations into active combat in under a week, and earned a unanimous fielding recommendation from government evaluators. Production is scaling from hundreds to thousands of units, and the software challenges are scaling with it.
We are building a new Mission Software Engineering (MSE) team to own the full software lifecycle — development, integration, deployment, sustainment, and customer success. This team needs experienced engineers who can take ownership of critical systems and drive technical decisions in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment.
