Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Costa Mesa, California, United States

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 Role

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to build the services and interfaces that connect EW systems to the people and platforms that use them. Our electronic warfare products generate rich data about the electromagnetic environment — your job is to build the software that moves that data from the system, through backend services, and into the C2 platforms and operator interfaces where it drives decisions.

This role sits at the boundary between our embedded systems and the rest of the world. You'll build backend services that ingest, transform, and route data from EW platforms. You'll define APIs and integration points with Lattice OS and external C2 systems. And you'll work across the stack into the UI layer when needed, ensuring that what operators see is accurate, performant, and useful in high-stakes environments.

The right person is comfortable working across the full stack but strongest on the backend and systems integration side. You should be able to reason about data pipelines, peer-to-peer architectures, and API design, and be comfortable digging into the frontend when the problem demands it.

What You'll Do

• Design and build backend services that connect EW system output to C2 platforms, operator interfaces, and the broader Lattice ecosystem
• Define and implement APIs and data pipelines that move data from embedded systems through to operator-facing applications
• Architect integration points between EW products and external systems, balancing reliability, latency, and security requirements
• Contribute to frontend development when needed — building and improving the operator-facing tools and visualizations that surface EW data
• Partner with embedded software engineers to define the interfaces between on-platform software and off-platform services
• Partner with software engineers across Anduril's C2 software ecosystem to leverage in-house platforms and services, and reinvent fewer wheels
• Work directly with end-users and operators to understand how they consume EW data and translate their needs into engineering solutions
• Drive technical decisions on service architecture, data modeling, and integration patterns for your area of the stack
• Collaborate with mission software, test, and operations teams to ensure systems work reliably across development, test, and operational environments
• Travel up to 30% to build, test, and deploy capabilities alongside operators in the field

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in at least one of: Haskell, Rust, C++, or Go
• Experience designing and building backend services, APIs, and data pipelines
• Experience working with systems that integrate hardware output with software services — you understand the boundary between embedded and application layers
• Comfort working across the stack — backend is your strength, but you can contribute to frontend work when the problem calls for it
• Experience with Linux development and deployment environments
• Ability to work independently and drive technical decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Strong communication skills and willingness to engage directly with operators and customers
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
• Must be eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance
• Willingness to travel up to 30%

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Haskell and/or Rust in production environments
• Experience employing functional programming concepts on large codebases
• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React for frontend development
• Experience with real-time data visualization, including DSP or sensor data
• Familiarity with Nix/NixOS for deterministic builds and configuration management
• Experience with browser graphics programming, streaming technologies, or high-performance web applications
• Experience with distributed systems, message queues, or event-driven architectures
• Experience integrating with C2 systems or system-of-systems architectures
• Experience with containerized deployments in edge or operational environments
• Prior experience in defense technology, electronic warfare, or RF systems
