Senior Mission Software Engineer, EW

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) division builds next-generation electronic warfare platforms — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems operating at scale in contested environments. The team recently secured an $85M contract (first tranche of $125M) awarded in under 24 hours from funding, delivered 30 novel system configurations into active combat in under a week, and earned a unanimous fielding recommendation from government evaluators. Production is scaling from hundreds to thousands of units, and the software challenges are scaling with it.

We are building a new Mission Software Engineering (MSE) team to own the full software lifecycle — development, integration, deployment, sustainment, and customer success. This team needs experienced engineers who can take ownership of critical systems and drive technical decisions in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for Senior Mission Software Engineers who bring deep expertise in at least one area and the ability to contribute across several. The MSE team's scope is broad: embedded software and hardware interfaces, backend services and data pipelines, deployment and configuration management, integration with the Anduril Lattice ecosystem, and operator-facing applications. You might spike in one of these — what matters is that you can operate independently, make sound architectural decisions, and drive work to completion across team boundaries.

At this level, you'll be expected to own significant technical areas, influence the team's engineering practices, mentor junior engineers, and interface directly with customers and operators to ensure our software meets the mission.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own and drive the technical direction for one or more critical areas of the EW software stack Architect and implement solutions that work reliably in production, at scale, and in contested operational environments Debug complex cross-system issues spanning embedded software, networking, applications, and deployed infrastructure Develop high-performance software — whether that's numerical algorithms for RF data, deployment automation, Lattice integration services, or operator tools Drive engineering quality through architectural review, code review, testing strategy, and operational practices Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, raising the bar for the team's technical capabilities Work directly with customers and operators to understand mission

Requirements

and translate them into engineering priorities Collaborate with embedded software, DSP/RFML, systems architecture, and growth teams Support field deployments, integration events, and customer engagements Contribute to building the MSE team's culture, processes, and technical standards from the ground up

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

7+ years of professional software engineering experience Strong proficiency in at least two of: Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas: Embedded systems, real-time systems, or hardware/software interfaces Backend services, distributed systems, or data infrastructure Deployment systems, CI/CD, configuration management, or infrastructure-as-code Systems integration, networking, or system-of-systems architecture Exp
