Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
Anduril is establishing its UK engineering presence, and as a Software Engineer in the UK, you will form an integral part. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. As a mission capability evolves from crazy-idea to demo to pilot to program of record, you will advance the software solution to the appropriate level of functionality and robustness. You will report into the engineering organization so that gaps are not just duct-taped over but actually fixed at the core.
You will expand the meaning of ‘full stack developer’ as you touch back-end and front-end cloud components as well as distributed edge compute and raw sensors. Some days you will develop models and simulations to support concept development through operations analysis. Some days you will write code to add a mission-critical feature to an existing product. Some days you will deploy to the field to coordinate real-world testing of your new feature with other supporting product teams. Some days everything works beautifully. Some days nothing works and you have to figure out what’s broken.
Through every stage, you will collaborate with and are supported by a variety of US and wider International teams in engineering, operations, and business development. SREs, Customer Success, and Technical Operations work closely with you to scale deployment setup, monitoring, and support. You work closely with account managers, product managers, and product teams to prioritize limited resources across ambitious goals and timelines.
