Summary Generated by Built In

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 TEAM:

The Forge team at Anduril is dedicated to developing and maintaining our proprietary supply chain, manufacturing, and deployment mission execution software. This platform is essential for supporting our operations and ensuring that we can swiftly and effectively meet our defense objectives.
As a Software Engineer on the Forge Sustainment team, you'll architect and implement mission-critical applications that directly enhance our nation's defense capabilities. You'll build sophisticated solutions that:

  • Supports field operators with reliable tools for maintenance and deployment
  • Streamlines complex business processes across the organization
  • Enhances operational efficiencies throughout the post-production pipeline

Your contributions will enable our teams to build advanced systems and help operators execute their missions with confidence.
We're seeking a proactive engineer who demonstrates natural leadership qualities. You confidently drive technical discussions to successful conclusions, make decisive architectural choices when faced with ambiguity, and take initiative to identify and solve problems before they impact operations. Beyond technical excellence, you possess the vision to anticipate future requirements and the communication skills to align cross-functional stakeholders around a common goal.
You thrive in dynamic environments, rapidly understand complex systems, and effectively collaborate across engineering disciplines while maintaining the autonomy to execute independently. Your contributions will be instrumental not just in delivering features, but in shaping our engineering culture and establishing technical direction as we continue to transform defense technology.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
    • Work in a mini-startup environment to create elegant SaaS or on-premise solutions that outperform existing market offerings
    • Work with a high-functioning team of developers with an emphasis on finishing business-critical projects
    • Write high-quality code that enhances the performance, scalability, and reliability of the Forge platform
    • Engage in code reviews, architectural discussions, and discussions to continuously improve our systems
    • Provide technical support for Forge users and troubleshoot issues as they arise
    • Have an area of deep expertise in a portion of the full stack (i.e. backend, frontend, integration)
    • Automate company operations to drive bottom-line dollar savings
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
    • 5+ years of experience in a software engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment
    • Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering or related technical degree
    • Experience working with large enterprise applications and platforms with high availability requirements
    • Proficiency with web-based technologies such as Javascript, React, Typescript, and web frameworks such as Remix or NextJS
    • Ability to empathize with end-users, to turn needs into features, and to balance user experience with engineering constraints
    • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
    • We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply but our tech stack uses AWS, Typescript, and React/Remix so familiarity with all of these tools and languages would be useful
    • Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments, with demonstrated successes in scaling and maturing software development processes, team culture and methods, and ability to balance short-term and long-term trade offs
    • Previous experience with supply chain, manufacturing, or related enterprise software is a plus
    • Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance
