Senior Software Engineer, Stateful Systems

Anduril Industries • Costa Mesa, CA

6d

About The Position

Lattice is the software platform behind Anduril's autonomous systems. The Stateful Systems team owns its data layer: the time-series and storage systems that hold every track, sensor reading, and tasking record the platform produces. This runs in the field on real deployments, so performance and reliability here directly affect whether operators can do their jobs. The team is small and the current focus is a rebuild of the core systems. It's a good time to join if you want a large surface area and real ownership.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant field, or equivalent experience
• 6+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on distributed systems or robotics
• Deep experience with Python, Go lang, C++, Rust, or similar systems programming languages
• Solid distributed-systems fundamentals. Ability to reason about replication, consistency, partition behavior, and failure modes, and explain why a given design does or doesn't converge.
• Production experience building or operating storage engines, databases, or large-scale data infrastructure.
• Comfort in a systems language. Depth matters more than the specific language used.
• A bias toward shipping and owning your work.

Nice To Haves

• Time-series systems, LSM or B-tree storage internals, or experience with FoundationDB, RocksDB, Pebble, or similar KV stores.
• Experience with systems that run in resource-constrained or intermittently-connected environments.

Responsibilities

• Redesigning the time-series engine from the ground up to scale horizontally across many writers and nodes.
• Building systems to handle 350+ sensor towers and tens of thousands of camera feeds, ingesting continuously, with both live and historical queries.
• Developing distributed storage solutions with high-availability durability (WAL replication, leader election).
• Implementing a pluggable storage-engine layer and a zero-downtime path to migrate between backends.
• Ensuring correctness under partition, meaning systems must handle network unreliability and achieve consistency and convergence.
• Solving hard distributed-systems problems related to consistency models, replication protocols, compaction and deletion at scale, back pressure, and durability guarantees.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
