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 Anduril Labs is a multidisciplinary team of technologists, solution architects, engineers, and military subject matter experts. Its mission is to drive innovation across all Anduril business units and product lines by developing novel concepts and next-generation technologies that enhance Anduril’s competitive edge and give its customers a decisive technological advantage over its adversaries. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a talented full stack software engineer to join our growing team at Anduril Labs in Washington, DC. As a full stack software engineer in Anduril Labs, you will help bring innovative, next-generation concepts to life through proof-of-concept development and rapid prototyping using bleeding edge technologies. The ideal candidate has exceptional software development and creative problem-solving skills, is a self-starter, and can quickly grasp complex concepts. As a full stack software engineer, you possess the skills to architect, develop, and deploy distributed applications and services, including both front-end and back-end components. You have experience with agile, end-to-end software development lifecycle and are comfortable developing and deploying code across Windows and Linux-based systems (including standalone bare-metal hardware, virtualized environments, and cloud-hosted platforms). Embedded software development experience is a plus. You are also proficient in integrating legacy code and systems, leveraging open-source technologies, and developing and utilizing APIs. Additionally, you have a solid understanding of AI/ML core concepts (e.g., feature extraction, supervised vs. unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, deep learning neural networks, NLP, LLMs, SLMs, model fine-tuning, prompt engineering, RAG) and hands-on experience developing (Gen)AI-enhanced applications or services. We also expect candidates to have familiarity with database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL, Graph DB, Vector DB) and experience with data modeling, data wrangling, analytics, and visualization. Since Anduril Labs supports all Anduril businesses and product lines, you will have the unique opportunity to work closely with multi-disciplinary engineering and product development teams across the entire company.
