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 TEAMThe LatticeOS Team builds the foundational software-defined operating system that powers our family of autonomous systems, sensors, and third-party integrations. Our work spans edge devices, robotic platforms, and cloud infrastructure, creating a unified operating environment for system orchestration, secure data distribution, and real-time execution. As a core engineering capability, LatticeOS directly enables mission-critical operations across all domains, powering both internal products and external developer partners integrating through the Lattice SDK. Our solutions are designed for real-world deployment in the most demanding operational environments, where reliable middleware, high availability, and seamless hardware-software integration make the difference between mission success and failure.ABOUT THE JOBAs a Senior Software Engineer working in the ProtoKV domain you will design and build the core distributed key-value infrastructure that underpins state sharing across Lattice OS, focusing on performance, reliability, and consistency guarantees at the edge. They'll own the protobuf schema evolution strategy and API surface, ensuring that services across the mesh can safely publish and consume typed state without breaking contracts. A significant portion of the role involves optimizing for the unique constraints of tactical environments — low-bandwidth links, intermittent connectivity, and strict latency requirements — where traditional distributed systems assumptions don't hold. You'll also collaborate closely with teams across Lattice to understand consumption patterns, debug cross-service state issues, and evolve ProtoKV's replication and conflict-resolution mechanisms as the platform scales to new mission sets.REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONSBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant field, or equivalent experience6+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on distributed systems or data/databasesDeep experience with Python, Go lang, C++, Rust, or similar systems programming languagesSolid distributed-systems fundamentals.
