Job description
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.
THE TEAM
The Air Defense DevInfra team builds and operates the software infrastructure the Air Defense program runs on. Our engineers are talented and hard‑working, motivated to see their work rapidly deployed on the front lines — we support the systems that ship to the Southern border, Iraq, Ukraine, and more.
We own developer productivity, build and release tooling, and the cloud infrastructure beneath it — the systems that let other engineers ship faster, with fewer surprises, and with the evidence their programs require. Work ranges from backend services and data pipelines to CI/CD, reproducible builds, container security tooling, and AWS (GovCloud and commercial) infrastructure. Our customers are other Anduril engineers, release engineering, and defense program stakeholders.
YOU SHOULD APPLY IF YOU:
Have experience building backend software or developer tooling that real users depend on, and want to grow that experience on a DevInfra team supporting a high‑stakes defense program.
Want to own meaningful pieces of shipped work — backend services, pipelines, tooling, and infrastructure — alongside senior engineers who will give you feedback and context.
Love building platform and infrastructure tooling that enables other software engineers to scale their output.
Enjoy working end‑to‑end on a problem: writing the Go/Python service, standing up the AWS infrastructure via Terraform, wiring it into CI, and debugging it when it misbehaves in production.
Are curious about the layers you haven’t touched yet and ready to learn them on the job.
Are a U.S. Person because of required access to U.S. export‑controlled information, and are eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
NICE TO HAVE
At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc.
Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc.
Experience building backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements.
Experience with industry‑standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems).
Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform).
Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
Familiarity with industry‑standard monitoring and logging tools.
A bias toward rapid delivery and iteration.
You’ve built or invented something: an app, a website, a game, a startup.
Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup‑like environment), engineering school, etc. If you’ve succeeded in a low‑structure, high‑autonomy environment you’ll succeed here.
Exposure to containers, SBOM tooling, or vulnerability scanning (Syft, Grype, Trivy).
Prior work on a platform, devinfra, SRE, or developer‑productivity team.
