Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
About the Team
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.
About the Role
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.
- 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.
Requirements
- 3+ years of software development with meaningful production ownership
- Deep proficiency in at least one of C++, TypeScript(node.js/React), or Python, and the ability to work effectively across the stack boundary in a second language
- Comfort ramping quickly into unfamiliar languages, tools, and deployment systems
- 3+ years working in Linux-based environments, including hands-on work with bare-metal hardware
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance
Preferred
- Strength with performance-sensitive, real-time, or resource-constrained systems
- Experience with gRPC or similar RPC frameworks
- Familiarity with systemd service management and observability practices on Linux
- Familiarity with Nix or NixOS
- Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems
- Experience with imaging, EO/IR, ISR, or command-and-control (C2) systems
