Sr. Mission Software Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike

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

As a Sr. Mission Software Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike, you will work on debugging code, identifying and fixing issues in a real-world setting, and collaborating with teams to improve the overall performance of the system.

Responsibilities:

• Investigate and resolve field-reported anomalies in the system
• Reproduce issues, identify root causes, and implement fixes
• Collaborate with teams to improve system performance and reliability
• Develop and maintain software in languages such as Rust, C++, Python, and Go
• Work with metrics, logs, and observability tooling to reconstruct system state and diagnose issues
• Write clear documentation of root causes and fixes for future reference

Requirements:

• Experience debugging code under time pressure with incomplete information
• Proficiency in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, Go
• Systems-debugging instincts and experience with observability tooling
• Linux and systems fluency
• Ability to write clear documentation and communicate effectively

Nice to have:

• Experience with robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipelines
• Familiarity with simulation-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop test setups
• Experience with CI/CD and versioned deployment
• On-call or field-support experience for hardware

This is a real entry point, not a holding pen. Do this well and you'll know more of the stack than most people who joined doing greenfield feature work , and that's exactly who ends up owning subsystems and driving roadmap next.

The salary range for this role is $191,000-$253,000 USD per year.
