Full Stack Software Engineer

Anduril Industries•Washington, DC

About The Position

We are looking for a talented full stack software engineer to join our growing team at Anduril Labs in Washington, DC. As a full stack software engineer in Anduril Labs, you will help bring innovative, next-generation concepts to life through proof-of-concept development and rapid prototyping using bleeding edge technologies. The ideal candidate has exceptional software development and creative problem-solving skills, is a self-starter, and can quickly grasp complex concepts. As a full stack software engineer, you possess the skills to architect, develop, and deploy distributed applications and services, including both front-end and back-end components. You have experience with agile, end-to-end software development lifecycle and are comfortable developing and deploying code across Windows and Linux-based systems (including standalone bare-metal hardware, virtualized environments, and cloud-hosted platforms). Embedded software development experience is a plus. You are also proficient in integrating legacy code and systems, leveraging open-source technologies, and developing and utilizing APIs. Additionally, you have a solid understanding of AI/ML core concepts (e.g., feature extraction, supervised vs. unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, deep learning neural networks, NLP, LLMs, SLMs, model fine-tuning, prompt engineering, RAG) and hands-on experience developing (Gen)AI-enhanced applications or services. We also expect candidates to have familiarity with database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL, Graph DB, Vector DB) and experience with data modeling, data wrangling, analytics, and visualization. Since Anduril Labs supports all Anduril businesses and product lines, you will have the unique opportunity to work closely with multi-disciplinary engineering and product development teams across the entire company. This means you will get to directly contribute to the development of Anduril’s next-generation products and services. So if you thrive in a dynamic environment that values creative problem-solving, love writing code, excel as both an individual contributor and team player, are eager to learn, and bring a can-do attitude, this role is for you.
