Senior 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.

ABOUT THE TEAM:


The Developer Platform team builds the tools and infrastructure that power software development at Anduril. We own the company's primary developer CLI (2,300+ engineers, 93k+ invocations), CI/CD pipelines serving 3,500+ engineers across 23 product lines in the US, Australia, and UK, deployment and release management systems, and Anduril's LLM adoption platform. We are standing up a new agentic development initiative to build the next generation of AI-powered developer infrastructure. The team is growing fast and this is a ground-floor opportunity to define what agentic software development looks like at a company building mission-critical defense systems.



WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Build multi-agent orchestration infrastructure that moves AI coding agents from individual developer machines to servers executing work autonomously across repositories at company scale
• Design and implement an agent-optimized, real-time knowledge base that gives AI agents deep context on codebases, architecture, and operational patterns
• Build a skills and plugin platform that lets any team encode their domain knowledge into reusable AI capabilities
• Improve CI/CD reliability and developer experience across 23 product lines
• Create release tooling that simplifies shipping software to production environments and robotic platforms
• Operate and evolve Anduril's LLM adoption platform: model rollouts, capacity management, cost attribution, and developer onboarding

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals in one or more of: Go, Python, TypeScript
• An entrepreneur, builder, PM, and designer rolled into one. We need people with outstanding software taste who can identify the right problem, design the solution, build it, and ship it in days, not quarters.
• A passion for developer tooling. You notice friction in your own workflow and cannot help but fix it. You spend 4 hours sharpening the axe and 30 minutes chopping wood.
• Demonstrated ability to quickly learn and adapt to unfamiliar technologies across multiple domains
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience building developer tools, CLIs, CI/CD systems, or platform infrastructure
• Experience with Kubernetes, Nix, or cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure)
• Genuine interest in LLMs and agentic systems as applied to developer productivity. If you are already building with AI coding agents in your daily workflow, you will feel right at home.
• Prior work on LLM integrations, prompt engineering, or agent frameworks
