Senior Deployed Software Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Imaging team builds and fields state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems deployed to solve real security challenges for the United States and its allies.

We're looking for a Mission Software Engineer to join the Imaging Interfaces team. This is not a pure product development role. You will spend meaningful time keeping fielded systems alive, triaging issues across the full stack, and serving as a technical representative for our products in integrations with external teams and customers.

Responsibilities

• Own fielded system success. You are responsible for the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems. When issues arise,whether the root cause is in your code, the firmware, the network, or the hardware,you triage, diagnose, and drive resolution.
• Build and maintain production services. You'll develop and extend modular software services that run on edge-compute devices in austere environments. These services need to be reliable, observable, and maintainable by engineers who didn't write them.
• Support field operations. You'll work directly with field operators and non-technical users to diagnose and resolve issues on deployed hardware. Clear communication under pressure is part of the job.
• Represent the team externally. You'll serve as a subject matter expert in integrations with other products and teams; sometimes remotely, sometimes on-site.
• Maintain end-to-end system understanding. Our devices sit at the intersection of hardware, firmware, networking, and software. You'll develop broad fluency across that stack over time, and apply it to optimize how our services interact and degrade gracefully when components fail.
• Collaborate across teams. You'll plan, build, and test complex functionality alongside firmware, hardware, and platform engineers.
• Travel expected approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software development with meaningful production responsibility,not just shipping features, but owning systems after they ship
• Strong Python and C++ skills
• 5+ years working in Linux-based environments, including bare-metal hardware
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries (networking, services, hardware interaction) without always having full visibility into every component
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical problems clearly to non-technical audiences
• Willingness to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive health, recovery, and other support
