Senior Mission Software Engineer
About The Position
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming military capabilities with advanced technology. The Imaging team builds and deploys state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems. This role is for a Mission Software Engineer on the Imaging Interfaces team, which is not a pure product development role. The engineer will be responsible for keeping fielded systems operational, triaging issues across the full stack, and acting as a technical representative for product integrations with external teams and customers. The work is varied and may involve extending services, diagnosing technical issues remotely, and supporting customer integrations, potentially including travel.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software development with meaningful production responsibility, including owning systems after they ship.
- Strong Python and C++ skills, with the ability to work effectively in either language.
- 5+ years working in Linux-based environments, including bare-metal hardware.
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries (networking, services, hardware interaction) without always having full visibility into every component.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical problems clearly to non-technical audiences.
- Willingness to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with gRPC or similar RPC frameworks.
- Familiarity with systems service management and observability practices on Linux.
- React/JSX experience.
- Familiarity with Nix or NixOS.
- Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems, not just development environments.
Responsibilities
- Own fielded system success, including health and uptime.
- Triage, diagnose, and drive resolution for issues across code, firmware, network, and hardware.
- Develop and extend modular software services for edge-compute devices in austere environments, ensuring reliability, observability, and maintainability.
- Support field operations by working directly with operators and non-technical users to diagnose and resolve issues on deployed hardware.
- Serve as a subject matter expert in integrations with other products and teams, speaking credibly across the full system stack.
- Develop broad fluency across hardware, firmware, networking, and software to optimize service interaction and graceful degradation.
- Collaborate with firmware, hardware, and platform engineers to plan, build, and test complex functionality.
- Travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.
Benefits
- Highly competitive equity grants.
- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees, supporting health, recovery, and future needs.
