Tactical Recon And Strike Core Infrastructure Engineer
At Anduril's Tactical Recon and Strike (TRS) team, we're pushing the boundaries of aerial drone technology. We're the driving force behind groundbreaking products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius, taking them from concept to fully operational systems that are reshaping the landscape of defense and security. Our team tackles the entire spectrum of small drone development (Group 1-3), from the drones themselves to the critical equipment needed for testing, deployment, and operation. We thrive on solving complex challenges, collaborating with specialist teams to deliver cutting-edge solutions for our customers. In TRS, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, working with state-of-the-art technology and pushing the limits of what autonomous systems can achieve. If you're passionate about creating transformative technology and want to be part of a team that's shaping the future of defense capabilities, we want to hear from you. Join us in our quest to develop game-changing aerial systems that are redefining what's possible in tactical reconnaissance and strike operations. This position is on the TRS Core Infrastructure team and will be focused on building the infrastructure to field TRS Products such as Altius, Ghost, Bolt and Anvil. Our charter is to provide the foundation for teams across Anduril to deploy cutting edge TRS autonomy and to tie it all together into an easy-to-use product. The solutions that you will create address the current needs of our customers and will have immediate impact towards the success of our products. What You'll Do Design, build, test, and release the tools used during manufacturing and deployment of Anduril Products. Help define foundational software architectures, configuration processes, and user experience workflows for our products, working directly with chief engineers, program managers, flight test engineers, and end-user customers to demonstrate capability and iterate on feedback. Create solutions in Python/Rust/C++/Go that integrate into software product lifecycle technologies like NixOS/CircleCI/Docker. Interface with engineers developing every aspect of the system from low-level Linux drivers to cutting edge autonomy and streamlined user interfaces. Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets. Required Qualifications At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Python, Rust, C++, Go, etc. Have experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities Want to work on building the tools that technicians, engineers, and operators will use to prepare Altius for real-world missions Are passionate about user experience and always strive to provide the most streamlined product Have an intuition for finding solutions to complex problems that involve multiple first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more) Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance Preferred Qualifications You've built or invented something: an app, a website, game, startup Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc. A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node (UDP, TCP, gRPC, REST, etc.) Understanding of Linux kernel architecture: Familiarity with device trees, bootloaders, and other kernel components. Experience creating infrastructure for robots or other complex embedded devices Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements Experience with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems) Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. CircleCI, Docker, NixOS, Terraform) Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration US Salary Range $168,000 - $252,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
