Staff Software Engineer

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.

This role is a shared software engineering pipeline for the teams building the systems that run Anduril: CorpTech Platform, ArsenalOS, and CorporateOS. You are hired into the pipeline, then placed where your strengths fit best. Both teams do full-stack product work on high-availability systems, both partner directly with the business and the factory, and both contribute directly to Anduril’s ability to be the next generation defense prime.

CorpTech Platform is the internal engineering force multiplier behind Anduril’s corporate systems. It invests in data platforms, software platforms, QA and release excellence, ERP engineering, and AI infrastructure. Platform builds the foundation for both ArsenalOS, our manufacturing and build arm, and CorpOS, the system that lets Finance and Growth operate with speed and precision.

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s hardware enterprise. It is the operational OS for the factory floor, the software that turns designs into high-rate production of Roadrunner, Fury, and other Anduril products, and keeps the line running.

CorporateOS is the arm that supports Anduril’s finance and accounting teams with first class internal tools and enterprise systems. Those products are the invisible backbone that ensures Anduril runs a healthy balance sheet. All work you do here has immediate visible impact on our balance sheet.

We are also driving Anduril toward becoming an autonomous enterprise. Through initiatives like the Autonomous Software Factory, we are rethinking how software is built, tested, deployed, and evolved by integrating AI directly into the engineering lifecycle.

Enterprise systems are strategic engines, scaling Anduril’s business and production systems with the same rigor, speed, and adaptability as its mission critical products.
