  • Develop and maintain mission-critical software across the EW product stack.
  • Build and improve deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management systems.
  • Integrate EW systems with Anduril's Lattice OS ecosystem.
  • Debug and resolve issues in production and field-deployed systems.
  • Develop operator-facing tools for high-stakes environments.

What we're looking for

  • 1-4 years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, systems concepts.
  • Comfort working in Linux environments and fast-paced, unstructured settings.
  • Ability to learn new domains quickly, such as RF, EW, and defense-specific concepts.
  • Experience with deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management.
