- Being accountable for software-enabled solutions that are deployed to customers, optimizing for the delivery of value to the end-user

- Collaborating with your Technical Lead to architect scalable software that rapidly delivers capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time

- Coordinating your team's roadmap and execution with other teams across Anduril, with the aim of developing components that are reusable across multiple Anduril product lines

- Contributing to the design, implementation, and execution of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of vehicle and mission software, including full lifecycle testing, monitoring, and operation

- Managing a 6-18 month roadmap for your team, nested within broader organisational roadmap

- Managing an allocated budget for your team

- Managing programmatic risk for your team, and collaborating with your Technical Lead to manage technical risk, including sound and timely decision making

- Leading by example as a technically competent, trustworthy, and accountable team lead

- Communicating organisational vision, strategy, and direction to your team

- Defining, documenting, gaining consensus for, and communicating appropriate goals and plans for your team, derived from broader organisational vision, strategy, and priorities

- Building your team through mentoring, professional development, career management, and collaboration with Anduril's recruiting and people functions

- Working as a leader of a multi-disciplinary engineering team of 4-10 members, including as a mentor and manager for Engineers from differing backgrounds

- Reporting to a manager who may or may not have a background in software engineering

- Traveling to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time
