Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Anduril's Software Engineers excel at developing state-of-the-art algorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-world applications. Working in small innovative teams, our software engineers build solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don't end once we've written a journal or conference paper describing our technology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government and industry are successful. As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Anduril is seeking talented "magicians" - experienced engineers who lead by example, mentor others, and stay deeply hands-on in the code - to join in our mission to expand the boundary of what's possible.

Responsibilities

• Help shape the technical direction of a small, high-impact team while remaining deeply hands-on in design, implementation, and code review
• Mentor and uplevel junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code reviews, technical guidance, and architectural discussions
• Lead by example by writing production-quality C++ and Python that powers mission-critical systems, while setting the bar for engineering excellence (CI/CD, unit testing, large-codebase collaboration, git workflows)
• Prototype state-of-the-art software solutions in an agile development environment and guide the team through the path from prototype to deployed, tactical implementation
• Implement high-performance software spanning the spectrum from tactical systems to web applications
• Use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments, innovative analysis tools, and sound analysis techniques to quantify the benefit of our technology
• Drive technical interchange meetings, sprint planning, and customer engagements to ensure successful outcomes for mission-critical needs
• Own all aspects of the software development lifecycle, helping the team navigate ambiguity and complex technical trade-offs
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to colleagues, customers, and non-technical stakeholders
• REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• 8+ years of software engineering experience and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience
• Demonstrated experience mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership on a team, while continuing to contribute as a hands-on individual contributor
• Experience supporting and navigating large, complex codebases as part of a collaborative team
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
• Big data/NoSQL/database technologies
• Software engineering: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization
• Machine learning: supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, and classification
• Applied mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, statistics, and random processes
• Engineering: controls, estimation theory, and digital signal processing
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance

Requirements

• Experience leading small teams or technical workstreams while remaining a top individual contributor
• Track record of growing engineers through mentorship, code review culture, and technical coaching
• Experience with asynchronous programming, parallel programming, and GPU programming
• Prior experience deploying software to real-world tactical/edge environments
