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.\nABOUT THE ROLE\nAnduril is seeking a Classified Platform Engineer to serve as the technical lead for our classified software team. You will design and build the platform services and user-facing applications that make multi-level classified computing possible: a virtual desktop and application broker, a policy-enforcing storage gateway, and the administrative interfaces for our access control platform. You will own them end to end, from architecture through the DevSecOps pipeline that delivers them into accredited, fully air-gapped environments, working alongside Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering, and Infrastructure Engineering.\nThis is a hands-on role with real technical authority. You will be the first dedicated software engineer on this team, which means you set the architecture, choose the patterns, and establish the engineering standards the rest of the team builds to. As the team grows you will lead it technically, and there is a clear path into formal technical leadership of the software function for someone who wants it.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nAct as technical lead for the classified software and platform team: own the architecture of the application portfolio, set the standards the team builds to, and make the tradeoff calls.\nDesign and build production web applications in React and Go that operate fully air-gapped inside accredited classified environments.\nDevelop and work with S3 storage APIs and policies.\nBuild the administrative and operator interfaces for our access control platform, and design the relational and distributed datastores behind authorization decisions, audit records, and application state.\nOwn the DevSecOps path to production: containerize and deploy to Kubernetes through GitOps CI/CD pipelines that scan, sign, and produce the evidence our accreditations require.\nDecompose multi-quarter programs into well-scoped work other engineers can deliver independently, and grow the engineers who join the team through design review, code review, and pairing.\nPartner with Cybersecurity, Program Management, and business line stakeholders to capture requirements and translate them into a technical plan delivered on time and on budget.\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\nProfessional experience building and shipping production web applications with React, or a comparable modern front-end framework, and TypeScript, including interfaces for complex domains where operator workflow matters.\nProfessional experience developing backend services in Go.\nExperience designing and working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or CockroachDB, including schema design, migrations, and query performance.\nExperience with containerization and container orchestration (Podman or Docker, and Kubernetes), and with GitOps and Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines in an Agile development process.\nKnowledge and experience with Linux Operating Systems (OS) such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Rocky Linux, or Ubuntu.\nExperience leading technical work: owning a system's architecture, reviewing the designs and code of others, setting direction for a small team, and communicating clearly in design documents, tradeoff analyses, and decision records a peer can pick up and act on.\nEligible to obtain and maintain a US Top Secret Clearance with customer's approval. May be required to obtain and maintain a DoD 8140/8570 qualifying certification.\nDESIRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with virtual desktop infrastructure or application and desktop brokering (e.g. Citrix, Omnissa/VMware Horizon, Leostream, Apache Guacamole, Kasm), and with virtualization orchestrated through Kubernetes such as KubeVirt.\nExperience implementing authorization systems (RBAC, ABAC, or relationship-based models), integrating applications against an external policy decision point, and Policy as Code (PaC) tools such as OPA, Oso, Cedar, or Kyverno.\nExperience with S3-compatible object storage APIs, POSIX filesystem semantics, or FUSE.\nExperience building software for air-gapped or network-isolated environments, including dependency vendoring and offline builds.\nExperience with DevSecOps supply-chain security practices including SBOM generation, artifact signing, and provenance attestation.\nProficiency with core security concepts including encryption, authentication, identity and access management, and Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA), plus an understanding of NIST SP 800-53 controls and their technical implementation.\nExperience with observability tooling: structured logging, metrics, and distributed tracing.\nExperience as a tech lead or founding engineer on a product team, including establishing engineering practices from scratch, onboarding new engineers, and interviewing and hiring software engineers.\nUS Salary Range\n$166,000—$220,000 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
