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 Tasking Team is part of the Lattice software platform and enables command and control of robots, sensors, and third-party integrations through our flexible, software-defined tasking framework. Our work spans both ground and robot software, creating a unified model for task delivery, state management, and execution reasoning. As a core software capability, the Tasking Team’s work directly enables mission-critical operations across all domains, across Anduril products and missions, and developer program partners integrating with the Lattice SDK. Our solutions are designed for real-world deployment in the most demanding operational scenarios, where the ability to maintain command and control of autonomous systems can make the difference between mission success and failure.

About the Job

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team, where you will design and develop the core task management framework for Lattice, enabling reliable command and control of any autonomous agent integrated with the Lattice SDK. You will collaborate closely with platform teams, autonomy engineers, and end users to create solutions that enable efficient, reliable tasking of autonomous systems in real-world defense scenarios. If you are someone who is self-motivated, holds yourself to high standards, and thrives in a low-structure, high-autonomy environment, then this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement core components of our Tasking framework, including services that manage task state, delivery, and distribution throughout the Lattice mesh network
• Create interfaces that enable third-party systems to integrate with our Tasking framework
• Collaborate with autonomy teams to ensure their platforms can reliably receive and execute tasks
• Work with platform teams to design APIs and protocols for task delivery and status reporting
• Build tooling to monitor, debug, and validate tasking operations across distributed systems

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant field, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on low-level distributed systems
• Deep experience with Go, Java, C++, Rust, or similar systems programming languages
