Costa Mesa, California, United States Anduril Industries Full time


As a Lead Mission Software Engineer for our Space team, you own the architecture and deployment of software solutions that support specific customer missions.

You expand the meaning of 'full stack developer' as you touch backend and frontend cloud components as well as distributed edge compute and raw sensors.

Some days you write code to add a mission-critical feature to an existing product.

Some days you go to the field to coordinate real-world testing of your new feature with other supporting product teams.

Some days everything works beautifully. Some days nothing works and you have to figure out what's broken.

As a mission capability evolves from crazy-idea to demo to pilot to program of record, you advance the software solution to deliver a real-world product.

You will dive in to understand and then integrate with legacy systems that have been part of our nation's critical defense for decades.

This role is directly tied to an ongoing, funded program within Anduril's Space Business Line. The program requires building and fielding a resilient, software-defined, distributed mesh networking layer for critical Space Domain Awareness data.

We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC.

Own the software solutions that are deployed to customers

Integrate with legacy systems to unlock 21st-century capabilities

Write code to improve products and scale the mission capability to different users more customers

Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality

Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring

Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next-steps

Empathize with end-users to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints

Travel up to 50% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in CONUS and OCONUS locations

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.

7-10+ years building software solutions involving mathematical modeling and/or significant integrations with an emphasis on system reliability and uptime

Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and detailed requirements

Ability to lead technical challenges from beginning to end
