Description
We are looking for a Lead Software Architect to join our rapidly growing C2 Systems team in Broomfield, CO. In this role, you will be responsible for defining the architectural direction of large-scale, real-time, mission-critical C2 software that powers Anduril's air and missile defense and battlespace awareness capabilities.
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.
In this role, you will define and drive the architectural vision for large-scale C2 software systems that ingest, fuse, and act on data from diverse sensors in real time. You will lead the design and implementation of performant, real-time, numerics-heavy algorithms in Rust and/or C++ at production scale.
You will partner closely with research scientists to transition advanced algorithms (target tracking, state estimation, sensor-effector pairing, asset scheduling) from prototype into tactical, deployed code. You will make high-leverage architectural trade-offs across performance, modularity, testability, and maintainability for mission-critical, edge-deployed systems.
You will mentor and technically lead senior engineers, setting coding standards, review processes, and CI/CD best practices across the team. You will engage directly with customers (DoD agencies, Army, Air Force, MDA, SCO) to ensure successful outcomes for mission-critical needs.
You will troubleshoot complex, real-world system issues spanning software, math assumptions, sensor behavior, and networking. You will contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle including prototyping, modeling & simulation, field testing, and deployment.
You will help shape hiring and technical growth of the broader C2 organization as it hyper scales.
