Lead Software Architect, Battlespace Awareness

Anduril Industries is seeking a Lead Software Architect to join their rapidly growing C2 Systems team in Broomfield, CO.

The successful candidate will define the architectural direction of large-scale, real-time, mission-critical C2 software that powers Anduril's air and missile defense and battlespace awareness capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Lead the design and implementation of performant, real-time, numerics-heavy algorithms in Rust and/or C++ at production scale
• Partner closely with research scientists to transition advanced algorithms from prototype into tactical, deployed code
• Make high-leverage architectural trade-offs across performance, modularity, testability, and maintainability for mission-critical, edge-deployed systems
• Mentor and technically lead senior engineers, setting coding standards, review processes, and CI/CD best practices across the team
• Engage directly with customers to ensure successful outcomes for mission-critical needs
• Troubleshoot complex, real-world system issues spanning software, math assumptions, sensor behavior, and networking
• Contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle including prototyping, modeling & simulation, field testing, and deployment

Requirements:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Applied/Computational Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Controls/Dynamical Systems, Statistics, or related field
• Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ and/or Rust, including asynchronous and multithreaded programming
• Proven experience architecting large-scale, production-grade codebases in real-time or high-performance environments
• Deep experience writing performant, real-time software with numerics-heavy algorithms
• Strong foundation in applied mathematics: probability theory, linear algebra, optimization, differential equations, and statistics
• Experience with CI/CD, unit testing, git version control, and microservices
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in a technical field
• Domain expertise in target tracking, state estimation, Kalman filters, sensor fusion, or signal processing
• Prior DoD program experience
• Experience with GPU / CUDA kernel development

Benefits:

• Competitive salary range: $219,000-$290,000 USD
• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees
