ABOUT THE JOB
As a Software Engineer in Lattice for Cyber, you will build the core capabilities, experiences, and primitives that our offensive Cyber programs rely on. You will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes.

Above all, Anduril engineers on this team are driven by a "Whatever It Takes" mindset — executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes on-time and with high quality. Not only will you build the software, you’ll have the opportunity to work with the customer’s to deploy it.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Build highly-available and scalable services, data models, and APIs that power our offensive cyber products such as command and control frameworks, autonomous cyber behavior trees, SIGINT analysis tools, and data exfiltration pipelines.
Integrate best-of-breed Cyber tools and products into Lattice via custom SDKs or white-glove integrations.
Work directly with program teams and customers as they build real missions on your products.
Contribute to technical leadership, design clarity, and long-term maintainability across a growing software stack.
Design distributed software systems that work reliably between the far edge and the enterprise across degraded, intermittent, and contested networks.
Incorporate AI/LLM-enabled workflow features where they improve analyst or operator effectiveness without compromising system reliability.
Build SDKs and integrations to allow best-of-breed vendors to incorporate their software and tools into our Lattice Cyber platform.
Contribute back to the Lattice software platform core, allowing your products to provide value across the entire company.
