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 Team\nThe Imaging team builds and fields state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems deployed to solve real security challenges for the United States and its allies. We work across the full stack, from bare-metal hardware and firmware to networked services and cloud integrations, and we own our systems all the way through to the field. When something breaks in a deployed environment, we fix it.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Mission Software Engineer to join the Imaging Interfaces team. This is not a pure product development role. You will spend meaningful time keeping fielded systems alive, triaging issues across the full stack, and serving as a technical representative for our products in integrations with external teams and customers.\nThe work is varied and sometimes ambiguous. You might spend a morning extending a gRPC service, an afternoon diagnosing a time sync issue on a deployed device over the phone with a field operator, and a week traveling to support a customer integration. You'll need to be comfortable with that range--and ideally energized by it.\nIf you want to own your software end-to-end in a fast-moving environment where the stakes are real, this role is built for you.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn fielded system success. You are responsible for the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems. When issues arise--whether the root cause is in your code, the firmware, the network, or the hardware--you triage, diagnose, and drive resolution.\nBuild and maintain production services. You'll develop and extend modular software services that run on edge-compute devices in austere environments. These services need to be reliable, observable, and maintainable by engineers who didn't write them.\nSupport field operations. You'll work directly with field operators and non-technical users to diagnose and resolve issues on deployed hardware. Clear communication under pressure is part of the job.\nRepresent the team externally. You'll serve as a subject matter expert in integrations with other products and teams; sometimes remotely, sometimes on-site. You don't need to know everything, but you need to be able to speak credibly across the full system stack and know what you don't know.\nMaintain end-to-end system understanding. Our devices sit at the intersection of hardware, firmware, networking, and software. You'll develop broad fluency across that stack over time, and apply it to optimize how our services interact and degrade gracefully when components fail.\nCollaborate across teams. You'll plan, build, and test complex functionality alongside firmware, hardware, and platform engineers. You'll need to be effective working across team and organizational boundaries.\nTravel expected approximately 25% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.\nWhat We're Looking For\nRequired\n 3+ years of software development with meaningful production ownership: not just shipping features, but owning systems after they ship (their health, uptime, and behavior once they are in users' hands).\n Deep proficiency in at least one of C++, TypeScript(node.js/React), or Python, and the ability to work effectively across the stack boundary in a second language (reading, debugging, and modifying code outside your primary). Our work spans a large TypeScript/React operator-facing UI and a growing body of C++ services running on edge hardware, and C++ depth is increasingly central as we expand across our imaging product lines.\nComfort ramping quickly into unfamiliar languages, tools, and deployment systems. Our language and tooling mix varies by product and shifts over time; we value engineers who get productive in a new stack rather than staying in one lane.\n3+ years working in Linux-based environments, including hands-on work with bare-metal hardware.\n Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries (networking, services, hardware interaction) without always having full visibility into every component.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical problems clearly to non-technical audiences, including operators in the field.\n Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.\nPreferred\nStrength with performance-sensitive, real-time, or resource-constrained systems (edge or embedded).\nExperience with gRPC or similar RPC frameworks.\nFamiliarity with systemd service management and observability practices on Linux.\nFamiliarity with Nix or NixOS: uncommon, but genuinely valuable, and something you will use daily on our stack.\nExperience supporting fielded or deployed systems, not just development environments.\nExperience with imaging, EO/IR, ISR, or command-and-control (C2) systems.\nWhat Makes Someone Successful Here\nThe engineers who thrive in this role share a few traits that don't always show up on a resume:\nThey close loops. When they pick up a problem they own it until it's resolved, not until it's someone else's problem.\nThey communicate proactively. They don't wait to be asked for a status update. They document what they find, share what they learn, and keep the people who need to know informed.\nThey're comfortable with ambiguity at the stack boundary. When a device behaves unexpectedly in the field, the root cause could be anywhere. They have a methodology for narrowing it down systematically rather than guessing or waiting for someone else to have the answer.\nThey represent the team well externally. In customer integrations and partner engagements, they're the face of what we've built. They take that seriously.\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. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: \nBenefits\nAt Anduril, we invest in our people.
