Anduril Industries•Costa Mesa, CA

About The Position

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 Platform Security team is responsible for the security of Anduril’s common software platform. We ensure that the platform contains an appropriate set of well-designed security features and that the team has a strong security posture both for its own development and for the management of third party dependencies. Platform Security helps other teams at Anduril securely integrate the software platform into their products. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for an experienced mid-level software engineer to join our rapidly expanding team. In this role, you’ll implement some of Anduril’s most critical improvements to security, working across the stack to deliver production-quality code that meets the challenging requirements of our customers. Collaboration is key; you’ll work with other teams as we make changes that potentially impact them. You’ll also collaborate closely with security and software teams across the company to improve Anduril’s security posture. If you’re passionate about building things that improve security and if you enjoy both the breadth that comes from working on large systems and the technical depth that is needed to create secure foundations, then this may be the position for you.
