Software Engineer, Agentic Modeling & Simulation
$191k - $292kFull-time
Anduril Industries
Responsibilities
- Build agentic workflows that expose modeling and simulation capabilities through natural language, structured tools, APIs, and operator-facing products.
- Design multi-agent architectures modeling decision-making, adversary responses, operational constraints, and plan tradeoffs.
- Integrate LLM tool use, function calling, retrieval, planning loops, evaluation hooks, and guardrails with simulation and mission-planning systems.
- Build backend services for scenario creation, entity tasking, simulation-state retrieval, course-of-action generation, plan comparison, and real-time analysis.
- Translate ambiguous operational planning workflows into reliable software with warfighters and technical subject-matter experts.
- Improve observability, reproducibility, explainability, and evaluation for agent behavior.
- Learn and apply DoD modeling and simulation concepts, including campaign-level simulation, mission-level simulation, and wargaming workflows.
Requirements
- Strong production software engineering experience building backend services, APIs, platforms, or integrations around complex stateful systems.
- Hands-on experience building AI/ML or LLM-powered software, ideally involving tool or function calling, RAG, structured outputs, agent orchestration, MCP-style interfaces, or model evaluation.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar backend language and ability to integrate systems across service boundaries.
- Bachelor-level degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
- Ability to work with operators, warfighters, and technical subject-matter experts to convert ambiguous needs into engineering requirements.
- Strong judgment regarding reliability, safety, observability, and debugging for AI systems in high-stakes environments.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
- Preferred qualifications include modeling and simulation, physics engines, wargaming, autonomy simulation, operations research, planning systems, agentic production systems, gRPC/protobuf, Kubernetes, distributed systems, observability, secure or air-gapped environments, and defense, aerospace, autonomy, robotics, gaming/simulation, command-and-control, or operational planning experience.
Benefits
- Comprehensive competitive benefits are available at little to no cost to full-time employees.
- The posting includes full-time employment and a U.S. salary range of $191,000–$292,000, with equity included in the majority of full-time offers.
